Taxacom: "Early Permian" angiosperms... real or not real taxa/names?

[Paul van Rijckevorsel]

Yes, it seems likely that these names will squeeze by
from a nomenclatural viewpoint. Although a diagnosis
like "It has a compound of stamina with several
filaments and anthers grouped into a flower-structure"
by itself will be inadequate.

In general, for nomenclature the exact taxonomic
position hypothesized by the author is of no importance.
If the conditions for valid publication are met, then it
does not matter if later it turns out that the author got
the taxonomy wrong, and that it concerns, say, animals
instead of plants. The name itself will stand, even if it
becomes clear that it does not stand for anything.
