Symplocos casparyi Ludwig 1857

Description

Symplocos casparyi Ludwig (1857: 99; pl. 20, fig. 6a–g)

Lectotype (retypified and designated here):—[MB.Pb.2004/0825!], illustrated in: Mai & Martinetto (2006: pl. 3, fig. 2a–c), repository: Museum für Naturkunde, Leibniz-Institut für Evolutions- und Biodiversitätsforschung, Berlin (MfN), Rudolph Ludwig collection. Locus typicus: Germany. Hesse: Wetterau, Dorheim near Friedberg. Stratum typicum: Early Pliocene (Zanclean), intravolcanic brown-coal deposits.

Notes:—The name Symplocos casparyi R.Ludw. 1857 has to be retypified. Mai & Martinetto (2006: 5) selected one specimen as neotype of Symplocos casparyi and pointed out: “ 1 specimen detected (Nov. 2003) in Ludwig’s collection from Dorheim (MNB 2004/825), […] is designated here as the neotype.” This specimen is part of the syntypes of Ludwig’s collection described in the protologue of Symplocos casparyi, and must be designated as lectotype (Turland et al. 2018: ICN Art. 9.3).

Occurrence and habitat:— Symplocos casparyi occurs from the early Oligocene to the late Pliocene of Europe: France, Germany, Denmark and Poland (Mai & Martinetto 2006).
