Taxonomic remark IFPNI (2022 version) states that Thursophyton A.G. Nathorst is a nomen nudum (no description) and that the valid name is Thursophyton Nath. ex E. Arber, 1921, however neither Andrews, 1970 or ING make any such assertion, and Nathorst's publication is accepted as valid in IRMNG at this time. According to Wikipedia, 2022: The taxonomic position of Thursophyton has been uncertain; most authors have considered it too imperfectly known to place, or have assigned it to the Lycopodiophyta. Unpublished research suggests similarities with spiny genera of the Zosterophyllopsida. [details]
