Calamopityaceae is the largest family of the division of extinct seed-bearing plants (spermatophytes) known as Pteridospermatophyta.[1][2] It is the only family in the monotypic order Calamopityales.[3] This family is characterized by its petioles and specific wood pattern, and it grew only in the Paleozoic era, specifically in North America and Europe.[1][4][5] Three form genera within the family are diagnosed by their stem structure: Calamopitys, Stenomyelon, and Diichinia.[1] It was named by Solms-Laubach in 1896. Since then, its genera have been added to and grouped differently.[1]
