Taxonomic remark Nom. cons. Non Glossopteris (A.T. Brongniart) Sternberg, 1825, nom. rej., with type Filicites (Glossopteris) later re-interpreted by Brongniart (1828a: 87) as a leaf (now regarded as a cone sporophyll) of an arborescent lycopsid, and as a result used the name Glossopteris for a completely different type of leaf with often anastomosing lateral veins. Brongniart’s (1828) use of the name is widely accepted today (e.g. Chandra and Surange 1979) and to avoid it being supressed in favour of the earlier (1822) homonym (also of the even earlier homonym Glossopteris Rafinesque, 1815) the former has been listed as a conserved name with a conserved type since the Paris ICBN (Stafleu 1957). [details]
