Taxonomic remark Nom. cons. (Index Nominum Genericorum). Authorship given in ING as A.T. Brongniart, 1828, however according to Cleal et al., 2012, the correct attribution is Sternberg, 1820, orth. corr. (originally 'Calamitis'), a proposal recommended for acceptance by the Nomenclature Committee on Fossils (Herendeen, 2015). From that work: The earliest validly published name for the genus was Calamitis Sternb. (1820). Sternberg continued to use this spelling in 1821 but it is clear that Sternberg was using the generic name in the same sense as Schlotheim used Calamites in 1820 (a publication that predates the starting point for names of fossil taxa) and so “Calamitis” is to be treated as an orthographic variant of Calamites. ... Although Calamites has been in the list of Nomina generica conservanda in the ICBN since the Stockholm Code (Lanjouw & al. in Regnum Veg. 3. 1952) throughout this time the entry has been erroneous. It mistakenly attributes Calamites to Brongniart in 1828 (even mentioning a wrong title: Prodr. Hist. Vég. Foss.: 121. 1828) whereas Brongniart’s 1822 publication fulfils all of the requirements for valid publication of such a name. [details]
