Vitis teutonica A. Braun (1854: 147; pl. 3, ex parte [semina]: figs 7–17) Fig. 5A–B. Lectotype:—First-step lectotype (designated by Mai & Gregor 1982: 422): A. Braun coll., gathering no. 86, “Taf. XX, Fig. 4 —Museum f. Naturkunde Berlin, Nr. 86”; second-step lectotype (designated here): [MB.Pb.2005/0639.1!], repository: Museum für Naturkunde, Leibniz-Institut für Evolutions- und Biodiversitätsforschung, Berlin (MfN), Alexander Braun collection. Locus typicus: Germany. Hesse: Wetterau, Bad Salzhausen near Nidda. Stratum typicum: Middle Miocene (Langhian), intravolcanic brown-coal deposits (“ Carpolithen-Kohle von Salzhausen ”). Syntypes:—[MB.Pb.2005/0639.2–11 (original gathering no. 86)!]. Notes:—Alexander Braun (1854) described leaves, fruits and seeds from Salzhausen as Vitis teutonica. Later, the name was only applied for seeds, e.g. Ludwig (1860: 118–120: pl. 45, fig. 5a–g) and Kirchheimer (1936: 91–93; pl. 9, fig. 3a–f. 1938: 335–337; pl. 4, figs 12–15; text-fig. 3). Mai & Gregor (1982: 422) selected “Taf. XX, Fig. 4 —Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Nr. 86” with multiple specimens as ‘ lectotype,’ and illustrated a specimen (Mai & Gregor 1982: pl. 20, fig. 4), which was also illustrated in Ludwig (1860: pl. 45, fig. 5c) and in Kirchheimer (1936: pl. 9, fig. 3d). The syntypes in the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin [A.Braun coll.: MB.Pb.2005/0639 (orig.-no. 86)] consists of eleven seed-remains, but no specimen can be identified as one of the above mentioned illustrations. Here the seed “coll.-no. MB.Pb.2005/0639.1” is selected as the lectotype from the syntypes of the Alexander Braun collection. Occurrence and habitat:—Late Oligocene and Miocene in Europe in fluviatile floodplain and back-swamp deposits from riparian habitats. Additional specimens examined:— Germany. Hesse: Wetterau, Bad Salzhausen near Nidda; middle Miocene (Langhian), intravolcanic brown-coal deposits (“Carpolithen-Kohle von Salzhausen”): MfN, Ludwig coll. [MB. Pb.2016/2469]. Family Symplocaceae Desfontaines (1820: 9), nom. cons. Genus Symplocos Jacquin (1760: 24)
