The Late Cretaceous and Tertiary palynomorphProteaciditesCookson ex Couper 1953, is shown to be morphologically inhomogeneous. Two new genera,PropylipollisandCranwellipollisare proposed, to receive certain species excluded fromProteaciditesandProteaciditesis emended. The propriety of ascribing all species ofProteacidites(and the two new genera) to the family Proteaceae is briefly discussed. The natural affinity, as with many dispersed pollen, still remains in doubt.
