4) Cupressinoxylon cupressoides GREGUSS, 1967 (later homonym of Cupressinoxylon cupressoides KRÄUSEL, 1919 )

Pl. 1, Figs 3, 4

M a t e r i a l. Lectotype defined here HNHM-PBO

2008.240.3. (= 3 slides: tr + tg + rd).

D e s c r i p t i o n. See Greguss (1967: 61, pl. LIV, figs

1–6, legend p. 128).

N o t e s. The similar wood anatomy, but different original number from that used by Greguss (1967: 62), i.e. A. 538 vs. A. 65, show that the holotype is missing and we need to define here this fossil as a lectotype of Cupressinoxylon cupressoides GREGUSS. However , C. cupressoides P.GREGUSS is considered as a later homonym of Cupressinoxylon cupressoides KRÄUSEL ( Kräusel 1920: 429) and must be considered as “illegitimate”. Finally, any affinity to Cupressus itself remains questionable as the fossil has biseriate bordered pits with bars of Sanio (Pl. 1, Fig. 3) and taxodioid cross-field pits (Pl. 1, Fig. 4, arrows), both typical of Taxodioxylon (e.g. Teodoridis and Sakala 2008).
