The concept of the pteridosperms goes back to the late 19th century when palaeobotanists came to realize that many Carboniferous fossils resembling fern fronds had anatomical features more reminiscent of the modern-day seed plants , the cycads .

The concept of the pteridosperms goes back to the late 19th century when palaeobotanists came to realize that many Carboniferous fossils resembling fern fronds had anatomical features like cycads .

With regard to the enduring value of the division , many palaeobotanists still use the pteridosperm grouping in an informal sense to refer to the seed plants that are not angiosperms , coniferoids ( conifers or cordaites ) , ginkgophytes or cycadophytes ( cycads or bennettites ) .

Many palaeobotanists still use the term in an informal sense for the seed plants that are not angiosperms , coniferoids ( conifers or cordaites ) , ginkgophytes or cycadophytes ( cycads or bennettites ) .
