[Taxacom] Euspermales or Euspermatophyta

[Ken Kinman]

Dear All,
      Several years ago (perhaps on an internet website), I saw an informal 
clade name "Euspermales", but I didn't write down the source.  My notes show 
it to be a clade including all Spermatophytes except for Calamopityales, 
Lagenostomales, Lyginopteridales, and Medullosales.

     Such a clade would be close to what one would envisage as a crown clade 
of spermatophytes (assuming the molecular data are correct that all living 
gymnosperms are a sister group to angiosperms), so perhaps it should have 
been named Euspermatophyta instead.  But even Google doesn't come up with 
Euspermatophyta (or euspermatophytes, or Euspermales).  So I am still 
wondering where I saw this clade name.  Anybody else remember seeing such 
clade names anywhere?
   -----Thanks,
             Ken Kinman
