Taxonomic remark Orthographic variant. See Sphenopteris (A.T. Brongniart) Sternberg 1825. (Index Nominum Genericorum). Misspelling by Sternberg cf. Brongniart's original usage (as section of Filicites). From Cleal & Thomas, 2018: It is incorrectly stated in the International Fossil Plant Names Index (http://fossilplants.info/) that the first use of Sphenopteris as a genus is in Sternberg (1823: 36), but Sternberg clearly stated that he regarded it here as a section (“Abteilung”) and earlier (p. 27) that it was of Filicites. The first use of Sph(a)enopteris as a generic name is in the 1825 Tentamen of Sternberg. Although when first used as a generic name the spelling was altered to Sphaenopteris by Sternberg (1825), the original orthography of Brongniart’s (1822a) section must be retained (ICN, Art. 60.1). ... This is one of the most confused of the Brongniart fossil-taxa, and is still regularly used for both fern and seed-plant fossil-species. However, the type (S. elegans) is well-documented as a Mississippian-age early seed-plant (e.g. Kidston 1923-1925: 242) and so the name Sphenopteris should only be applied to this group of early seed-plant fronds.
