[Taxacom] Nothogagaceae

[Ivie, Michael]

OK, if you are going to go on and on about details of names, would you please at least spell the name correctly in the subject line?  Unless of course there is a wink involved about the whole string...

* well, as a Northern Hemisphere herpetologist who knows of Nothofagus
only as a cool pangonwandaphytic phenomenon, I can just say that some
traditional genera are well known to be more inclusive than other genera
in their families, and if we can stand having Bufo and Rana riven into
unpronounceable polysyllabic fragments, botanists and paleobotanists
should be able to gag down (as per the subject line) a clearer
understanding of their Nothofags.

The interesting question here, which may just be interesting to me out
of ignorance, is nomenclature for fossils where there may be a well
defined species, but no way to say which genus in a subfamily the
species may be in. Is there a formal notation for a species that's
incertae sedis among genera?
