Notes
:—The fossil-species
Ilex antiqua
Knobloch & Mai (1986: 112)
was based on the most anicent findings of
Ilex
-like fruits (endocarps) from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of
Saxony-Anhalt
,
Germany
. However, it is a later homonym of the fossil-species
Ilex antiqua
Heer (1882: 97)
, based on the fossil leaves of the Upper Cretaceous of Atanikerdluk [= Atanekerdluk], Southern Nuussuaq peninsula of
Greenland
. Therefore, a new replacement name is needed for the fossilspecies based on fruits.
