Lawrence Alexander Sidney Johnson separated out many of those species and renamed them into the new genera of Gymnostoma in 1980 and 1982, [3] [4] Allocasuarina in 1982, [4] and Ceuthostoma in 1988, with some additional formal descriptions of new species in each other genus. [5] At the time, it was somewhat controversial.
