Taxonomy
Weltrichia was named by Braun (1843) ["Harris (1969) revived the use of the neglected genus Weltrichia for bennettitalean male flowers, at the same time restricting use of the genus Williamsonia to female flowers" Watson and Sincock 1992, p. 161.]. It is not extant. Its type is Weltrichia mirabilis.

It was assigned to Bennettitales by Lakhanpal et al. (1976), Chandra and Tewari (1991) and Watson and Sincock (1992).
