nom. nov. |
Rubus chandlerae Doweld , nom. nov.
Replaced name:— Rubus acutiformis Chandler (1925: 26) , nom. illeg. non Rubus ×acutiformis Schmidely (1911: 30) ( McNeill et al. 2012, Art. 53.1).
Type:— V.20057 (Natural History Museum, London, U.K.).
Geography:—Hordle [Hordwell] Cliffs, South Hampshire, U.K.
Stratigraphy:—Upper Eocene (Priabonian = Headon Hill Formation).
Status:—Fruits.
Eponymy:—In honour of Marjorie Elizabeth Jane Chandler (1897–1983), British palaeobotanist and discoverer of the peculiar fossils.
IFPNI registration record:— FDB72262-F9D4-448A-9B53-5A206344E9F1.
Note:—The fossil-species is known from Eocene palaeofloras of Europe with no recognized synonyms ( Chandler 1961: 99, 122 & 1962: 38; Mai & Walther 1985: 96); it was established based on fossil fruits of Hordle [Hordwell] Cliffs, South Hampshire, U.K. from Upper Eocene (Priabonian) sediments. However, the fossil-species is a later illegitimate homonym of the extant hybrid species R. ×acutiformis Schmidely (1911: 30) , originally described from Switzerland. Hence, a new replacement name is validated here for the fossil-species.
