Nathorst.

Pseudobornia is a genusofplants known only from fossils found from the Upper Devonian.[1] It contains a single species Pseudobornia ursina, and is the earliest fossil assigned with certainty to the Equisetopsida.

The first fossils of Pseudobornia were collected by Johan Gunnar AnderssononBear Island in the 1890s.[2] Hans-Joachim Schweitzer, a paleobotanist, was the first to interpret the fossils as belonging to a large tree, based on additional fossils discovered in Alaska in the 1960s.[3][4]

The probable relationships within Equisetidae are shown in the cladogram below. The position where Ibyka would be has been added.[5]
