Genus Zamites BRONGN., 1828

T y p e. Zamia gigas View in CoL LINDL. et HUTTON, 1835 in Foss. Fl. Gr. Brit. 3: 45 ≡ Zamites gigas (LINDL. et HUTTON) MORRIS, 1841 in Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 7: 116.

The genus Zamites was proposed for conservation with the conserved type Z. gigas by Zijlstra and Van Konijnenburg-van Cittert (2020), and accepted by the nomenclatural committee of fossil plants ( Herendeen 2022).

R e m a r k s. The genus differs from other similar genera of the Bennettitales in having a symmetrical basal part of the pinnae, commonly slightly contracted on both sides, although occasionally a slightly dissimilar base occurs ( Watson and Sincock 1992).

Its generic diagnosis was most recently emended by Watson and Sincock (1992).
