Taxonomic remark From Cleal & Thomas, 2018: Schlotheim (1820) originally used this genus name for a series of fossils that he regarded as belonging to palms. Most were Palaeozoic lycopsid stems, although one unillustrated species (Palmacites flabellatus Schlotheim, 1820, nom. inval.) was based on Jurassic fossils. Martius (1822) also referred to two of Schlotheim’s species (Palmacites obsolutus Schlotheim and Palmacites annulatus Schlotheim) but again without providing a generic diagnosis. In its validly published protologue, Brongniart (1822a) restricted the fossil-genus to flabelliform, palm-like foliage and referred to just one species that may be taken as the type, P. lamonensis. [details]
