Talk:Pteridospermatophyta

I am not sure how this new 'Automatic Taxobox' works but it has managed to put Lyginopteridopsida as an order, rather than a class that it actually is. I realise that the original version that I edited had the Gigantopteridaceae (family) as an order (inherited from the original version) but that was something I intended to fix. Alternatively, it may be best to just get rid of this attempt at a taxonomic structure here. Pteridosperms is not really a taxon in any meaningful sense, just a 'grade-group' of early seed-plants. As it stands, we are developing two parallel but essentially incompatible taxonomic structures: one based around Pteridosperms, the other structured around more natural groupings such as Cycadopsida, Ottokariopsida and Ginkgosida.

The paragraph beginning "So, does the concept of pteridosperms have any value today?" seems to be written in a style more suited to a debate, so I have aded a debate template. This could be partly patched up by deleting or editing that sentence, but its inclusion has affected the tone of the remainder of the paragraph.Zag1024 (talk 1:43, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

I attempted a rewrite of the paragraph in question. I think that a discussion of the validity of historical paleobotanical terms may be beyond the scope of this article but feel free to expand upon my edits.Fascinoma (talk) 03:01, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

The taxonomy for Glossopteridales here and in the Gloss... article do not align. I will put a similar note in the talk for that article, and perhaps someone can sort this out. Here we have Pteridospermatophyta>Dictyopteridiopsida>Rigbyales (=Glossopteridales). There we have Pteridospermatophyta>Glossopteridales. 2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:6D65:DBCA:8828:2997 (talk) 02:01, 20 December 2019 (UTC)JustSomeWikiReader
