Summary Farjon, A.: Cathaya loehrii , a misnomer for a Pliocene conifer cone. ‐ Taxon 41: 721‐723. 1992. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. A fossil seed cone of a conifer (Pinaceae) from the Pliocene of Germany, first described under Abies , subsequently under Keteleeria , and since 1958 frequently referred to the new genus Cathaya , is shown to belong to none of these genera. The combination C. loehrii does not appear to have been validly published.
