“…A more complete account of the taxonomy of Laveineopteris bohemica can be found in Šimůnek & Cleal (2011). Suffice it to say that it is conspecific with the specimens described from Upper Silesia by Gothan (1913) as Neuropteris nicolausiana Gothan and as Neuropteris nikolausii from Saar-Lorraine by Bertrand (1930) -these are merely orthographic variants of the same species name -, and the specimens from West and Central Bohemia described by Havlena (1953) as Neuropteris attenuata Lindley & Hutton. It is unknown from the lowland, parallic basins of the Variscan Foreland.…”

“…3). Gothan (1913) recognised these species as forming a clear cluster but did not formally designate them as a (fossil‐)genus; this was done later by Simson‐Scharold (1934). In addition to their distinctive pinnules with more rounded lobes, Eusphenopteris species differ from Sphenopteris in sometimes having pinnae attached below the main dichotomy of the frond.…”

Most remains of Carboniferous lyginopteridalean seed‐plant fronds used to be classified in a single fossil‐genus (Sphenopteris) based mainly on pinnule morphology. By incorporating additional characters linked to frond architecture and rachial features a more natural taxonomy has now been achieved. Eight fossil‐genera of lyginopteridalean fronds are now recognised (Sphenopteris, Calymmotheca, Eusphenopteris, Karinopteris, Mariopteris, Palmatopteris, Spathulopteris, Sphenopteridium) for which the diagnostic descriptions, nomenclatural types and stratigraphical/chronological distribution are clarified. This provides a more natural and therefore robust means of recording these fossils, which will help improve studies on past plant diversity and floristics. A by‐product of this revision is that some fossil‐species of fern fronds previously placed in Sphenopteris will need to be reclassified into fossil‐genera that are defined on reproductive structures.

“…However, Laveine et al (1977) provisionally maintained the distinction until a more complete analysis could be undertaken, a view with which we agree. (Gothan 1913) and Neuropteris nikol ausii Gothan from Saar-Lorraine (Bertrand 1930), and ap pears to be a species characteristic of more upland wetland habitats. The attribution of the specimens from the Radnice Member figured by Ettingshausen (1854) as N. rubescens to L. bohemica is based on the comments by Němejc (1929, p. 5; see also Gothan 1913, p. 213 andHavlena 1953).…”

The Central and Western Bohemian basins were part of an intramontane depositional area in the Variscan Orogen, in which localised peat-forming wetlands developed in a high-elevation setting (Pešek 1994(Pešek , 2004. The exact elevation remains uncertain but modelling of the palaeogeomorphology and drainage patterns by Opluštil (2005) suggested that they may have been up to 1000 m above sea-level, at least during middle Westphalian times. We will, therefore, refer to them as upland wetlands sensu Thomas & Cleal (2017).Abundant fossil floras in these deposits have attracted palaeobotanists since the early 19 th century (e.g. Sternberg 1820-1838, Ettingshausen 1852, 1854) and are evidently the remains of vegetation broadly similar to that of the lowland paralic swamps of the Variscan foreland (e.g. Cleal 2018) but preserved in a higher-elevation, wetland setting. However, there are clear differences in the species present (Gothan 1915(Gothan , 1951(Gothan , 1954 Cleal 2008a, b) and it is now evident that these upland floras had an important influence on the overall dynamic evolution of the Euramerican peat swamp vegetation (
