Taxonomic remark From Herendeen, 2021: The genus Dictyophyllum Lindl. & Hutton was introduced in 1834 and is a widely used name for a well-known group of extinct Mesozoic age dipterid ferns. The name is predated by Quercites H. Berger, which included a single species, Q. lobatus H. Berger. ... there is considerable taxonomic confusion surrounding Q. lobatus H. Berger, which was based on three leaf specimens from the Lower Jurassic. ... . It is uncertain why the name Quercites was inappropriately abandoned but the author suggests it may have been due to a perceived implication of a relationship to Quercus for this group of fossil ferns. The name Dictyophyllum has been in use for many years, whereas Quercites H. Berger was never adopted. The Committee agreed with the arguments made in the proposal and voted unanimously to support it.
