Notes:—The invalidly published fossil-species Ilex ohashii Huzioka (1963: 208) , nom. inval. (Art. 40.1 of the ICN), was replaced by a new designation, Ilex subrotunda Doweld , sp. nov., reflecting the putative relationships of the fossils with the extant species I. rotunda Thunberg (in Murray 1784: 168). The same type of fossil Pleistocene foliage from Japan was previously published under the name Ilex heeri Nathorst (1883: 62) , but this is a later homonym of the fossil-species Ilex heeri Sieber (1880: 87) from the European Bartonian sediments. Therefore, the later homonym Ilex heeri Nathorst (1883) non Sieber (1880) could not be used in place of I. ohashii , as was incorrectly synonymized by Tanai (1976: 332). The newly proposed name Ilex subrotunda Doweld (2019) should stand the only correct name for this type of leaf fossils.
