moreproposed three similarly constructed fossil generic spore names with the first word base, Laevigat-, attached to the uniform ending-sporites giving the three generic names: Laevigata-sporites, Laevigati-sporites and Laevigato-sporites. The names were proposed as part of Ibrahim's original morphographic classification of fossil spores, in which the stem base (first element) of the generic name with different and varying endings (e.g.,-a- ,-es- ,-i-, or-o-) is attached to the uniform ending-sporites; the particular ending of the stem base, coming in the middle of the name, being an important key to the taxonomic position of the spore genus in his suprageneric artificial, morphographical groupings (Aletes [-a-], Monoletes [-o-] and Triletes [-i-and-es-], vide Ibrahim, l.c.: 15–16). As a result, several sets of nearly similar generic names were produced (The International Fossil Plant Names Index, 2014–onwards [http:// fossilplants.info/about]):
