Phytocrene punctilinearis was named by Collinson et al. (2012) [Endocarp ellipsoidal, elliptical in face view, rounded basally, rounded to pointed apically, flat without traces of having been heavily compacted suggesting an original narrowly lenticular cross section. Length 19– 48 mm, width 12–30 mm. Surface smooth with 8–10 longitudinal rows of evenly spaced pits visible on exposed surface (suggesting a total of twice as many). Size of pits ranging from 0.5–1.5 mm in diameter. Each surface pit leading to a deep cylindrical invagination. Broken wall reveals that pits of the endocarp do not penetrate into the locule. Endocarp wall about 1.0 mm thick but only 0.3 mm in smaller specimens.]. It is not extant. Its type specimen is Holotype SM.B Me 2326, a seed/fruit.
