2020 “ Daphne ” oeningensis A.BRAUN emend. Weyland ; Hably, p. 86, pl. 17, figs 6, 8–10 (non 7).

M a t e r i a l. GBA 6704a, GBA 2005/0004/0017A, 0018-0023, 0025-0027, IBUG 480, 796,? NHMW 1878/6/5395, NHMW Ett. 6296.

D e s c r i p t i o n. Leaves petiolate, (short-)petiolate, petiole often bent; lamina spatulate, narrow, l × w about (5) 17–36 (50) × (1) 3–12 (20) mm, ratio l/w about (2.2) 2.6–4.3 (5.5), base narrow decurrent, sometimes bent, apex rounded to emarginate; margin entire; midvein strong, almost straight; secondaries probably eucamptodromous, medium steep, but rarely preserved.

R e m a r k s. Hably (2020) described similar foliage as “ Daphne oeningensis (A.BRAUN) emend. Weyland ”. The specimen figured on pl. 17, fig. 7 by Hably (2020) appears, however, distantly dentate and should be excluded from D. oeningensis .

Differing from Dicotylophyllum sp. 3 see that taxon.

Differing from Dicotylophyllum sp. F by spatulate lamina with narrow decurrent base and higher l/w ratio.

Differing from Dicotylophyllum sp. O by smaller and more slender lamina (higher ratio l/w).
