Treatment

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).
