Summary The nomenclature of fossil pollen grains cannot be stabilized until a final decision is made about the validity of publication of Pollenites. Our view, substantiated by Potonié's original discussions of the genus, is that the name Pollenites was validly published in Potonié's second 1931 taxonomic paper on Tertiary palynology.
