Taxonomic remark From Herendeen, 2021: The genus Otozamites Braun was introduced in 1843 and included Zamites bucklandii and six other species. In 1849 Brongniart united Otozamites and Otopteris Lindl. & Hutton, which was published in 1834. Brongniart retained the later name Otozamites because he treated the genus as a cycad, not as a fern. Authors who thought the genus was a fern used the name Otopteris. By the end of the 19th century a consensus was established that the genus was a cycadophyte and thus the name Otozamites was used and Otopteris was abandoned. ... The Committee ... agreed that Otozamites is an important and widely known name and that conservation was justified and voted unanimously to support the proposal. [details]
