Taxonomic remark From Cleal & Thomas, 2018: Brongniart (1822a) compared the type of Culmites with stems of various monocots, including grasses, palms and canes. Unger (1850) combined Culmites with Caulinites Brongniart, 1828a, another fossil-genus used for monocot stems and rhizomes, but later (Unger 1852) separated them again, with no clear explanation given in either case. Until the status of the type of Culmites is established, it is difficult to see what role the generic name can have in palaeobotanical taxonomy. [details]
