Taxonomic remark From Smoot et al., 1985: the Triassic stem [i.e.: Antarcticycas] cannot be specifically related to living representatives even at the familial level. Of the three families recognized by Johnson (1959), the Cycadaceae possess polyxylic stems, the Stangeriaceae, monoxylic, and the Zamiaceae both polyxylic and monoxylic. Johnson delimited three tribes within the Zamiaceae and of these the Encephalarteae contains only polyxylie stems, while the Dioeae and Zamieae include taxa with monoxylic anatomy. Of these groups, Antarcticycas is most similar to extant members ofthe Stangeriaceae and the Zamieae based on the limited features available. [details]
