Manchester, Steven R., 2014, Revisions To Roland Brown’S North American Paleocene Flora, Acta Musei Nationalis Pragae Series B 70 (3 - 4), pp. 153-210 : 172

Cyclocarya hispida (R. W. BROWN) comb. nov.

1962 Pterocarya hispida R. W. BROWN U. S. Geol. Surv. Prof. Pap. ; 1971 WATT. Taxon, 20 (4), p. 640 (Basionym).

Lectotype designated by Watt (1971): USNM 167492 ( Brown 1962, pl. 18, fig. 11).

Circular winged fruits and compound foliage that Brown called Pterocarya hispida are now treated as Cyclocarya , a genus now endemic to central China. The fruits were renamed Cyclocarya brownii MANCHESTER et DILCHER (1982; Manchester 1997). The leaves were not formally renamed, but should not be accepted as representing extant Pterocarya . I therefore supply here the new combination, Cyclocarya hispida (R. W. BROWN) comb. nov. Associated dispersed pollen, usually triporate and lacking special exinous thinning patterns ( Manchester 1987) goes by the name Momipites wyomingensis NICHOLS et OTT.
