- Abstract
The following 15 generic names are recommended for conservation: Angaropteridium against Neurogangamopteris, Beania against Sphaereda, Bucklandia Brongn. against Bucklandia Sternb. and Conites, Coniopteris against Polystichites, Equisetites against Oncylogonatum with a conserved type, Juglandicarya against Hyhothya with a conserved type, Lepidophloios against Yuccites, Lepidopteris against Aspidioides, Marattiopsis with a conserved type, Nilssonia with that spelling, Pityostrobus against Zamiostrobus, Scytophyllum Bornem. against Scytophyllum Eckl. & Zeyh., Sphenozamites with a conserved type, Verrucosisporites with that spelling, and Vertebraria Royle ex McCoy against Vertebraria Roussel. The following 3 species names are recommended for conservation. Beania gracilis against Sphaeredaparadoxa, Equisetum columnare (Equisetites colunmare) against Oncylogonatum carbonarium with a conserved type, and Scytophyllum bergeri with a conserved type. The following 4 generic names are not recommended for conservation: Carpolithus with that spelling, Crowella against Actinostrobites and Frenelites, Cyclodendron against Subsigillaria and Eusigillaria, and Pecopteris against Filicites, as also are the following 22 names, all originally hyphenated, and proposed for conservation with these spellings: Abiespollenites, Alatisporites, Apiculatasporites, Cicatricosisporites, Densosporites, Elongatosporites, Faguspollenites, Gnetaceaepollenites, Granulatisporites, Juglanspollenites, Palaeoavena, Piceaepollenites, Poacordailes, Pseudoaiaucaria, Quercipollenites, Sabalpollenites, Sequoiapollenites, Setosisporites, Sparganiaceaepollenites, Tuberculatisporites, Ulmipollenites, Valvisporites. The following 2 species names are not recommended for conservation: Dalbergia reticulata Merr. against D. reticulata Ettingsh. and Sphenophyllum indicum (Vertebraria indica) against Vertebraria australis and Clasteria australis. The following family name is not recommended for conservation: Cheirolepidaceae. Change of authorship of Catamites, nom. cons, from Brongniart in 1828 to Sternberg in 1820 and the concomitant deletion of "Calamitis Sternb.", nom. rej. was recommended. The following 3 names are recommended for outright rejection: Filicites, Frenelites, and Solenostrobus. The committee judged the names Cheirolepidiaceae and Cheirolepidaceae to be not confusable.
