Summary The following three generic names are recommended for conservation: Vestispora against Reticulatasporites , Acitheca against Strephopteris , and Lyginopteris against Dictyoxylon . The following species name is recommended for conservation: Cyclostigma kiltorkense against Lepidodendron griffithii , L. minutum , and Sigillaria dichotoma . The following two family names are recommended for conservation: Umkomasiaceae against Zuberiaceae , and Discinitaceae against Palaeopteridiaceae and Saaropteridaceae . The following two generic names are not recommended for conservation: Autophyllites against Bryon , and Protocupressinoxylon with a conserved type against Protobrachyoxylon . The following one species name is not recommended for conservation: Autophyllites furcatus against Bryon crispatum . The Committee judged the differential diagnosis for the name Pinites to be adequate for valid publication. The Committee judged the descriptive statements associated with Celastrophyllum Göpp., Celastrophyllum Ettingsh. ex Saporta & Marion, and Celastrophyllum Ettingsh. ex Schimp. to be inadequate for valid publication. In addition, this report includes a summary of a re‐evaluation of the date and place of publication of the generic name Cardiocarpus Brongn., which had been called into question.
