Cinnamomum ucrainicum Schmalhausen 1883

Description

Cinnamomum ucrainicum Schmalhausen (1883: 309 [27], 1884a: 68, 1884b: 356).

Lectotype (designated here):— UKRAINE. Cherkasy region, Katerynopil’, Schmalhausen coll. (National Museum of Natural History 42/931!, Kyiv, Ukraine); Eocene – illustrated by Schmalhausen 1883: pl. 5: fig. 14.

IFPNI: A27AC6E4-DC34-4006-BABD-3DFC3DC85C07.

Note:—The fossil-species Cinnamomum ucrainicum Schmalhausen (1883: 309 [=p. 27 in separate pagination of fascicle] (German original version); republished in Russian: 1884a: 68 & 1884b: 356), was described from the Upper Eocene sediments of Katerynopil’, Cherkasy region, Ukraine (formerly Katerinopol’, Kiev Gouvernement of the Russian Empire). The fossil-species was regarded as doubtful by Imchanitzkaja & Sveshnikova (1975: 34) due to its fragmentary preservation, although they definitely allied the fossil-species to several extant Cinnamomum species, viz. C. aromaticum Nees (in Wallich 1831: 74), C. cassia (Linnaeus 1753: 369) J. Presl (in Berchtold & Presl 1825: 44), C. javanicum Blume, C. lampongum Miquel (1861: 358), C. obtusifolium Nees (in Wallich 1831: 73), C. tamala (Buchanan-Hamilton 1822: 533) T. Nees & Nees (in T. Nees & Ebermaier 1831: 426), and the fossil-species C. rossmaessleri Heer (1856: 84) from the Upper Eocene sediments of Staré Sedlo, Karlovarský kraj, Czech Republic (formerly Altsattel, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary). It is lectotypified here by the selection of the best preserved specimen 42/931, now kept in the National Museum of Natural History, Kyiv, Ukraine (figured by Schmalhausen 1883: pl. 5: fig. 14).
