Pronunciation: [kˈɔːde͡ɪtˌe͡ɪsiː] (IPA) 
Cordaitaceae is a family of extinct woody plants that flourished in the Carboniferous and Permian periods.

Along with ferns and lycopods, the Cordaitaceae contributed to the formation of the vast coal seams that fuelled the industrial revolution. Though the family is now extinct, its legacy lives on in the many scientific names that have been given to its members. Synonyms for Cordaitaceae include Clamparostrobus, Cordaitales, Cordaitophyta, Pityoxylon, and Schizolepidopsis. These names reflect the diversity and complexity of this ancient plant family and are an important reminder of our planet's rich geological history.
