Euryale limburgensis

Euryale limburgensis is a fossil species of Euryale from the Pliocene of Tegelen, Limburg Province, Netherlands, [2] from the lower Pleistocene of Greece, [3] from the Pliocene [4] and Pleistocene of Italy, [5] and from the Pliocene of France. [6]

Description

The seeds are 9 mm long, and 7 mm wide. [7] The testa is granulate. [8]

Taxonomy

It was first published as Euryale europaeaC. Reid, E. Reid. by Clement Reid and Eleanor Mary Reid in September 1907. It was published later than Euryale europaea C. A. Weber published by Carl Albert Weber in April 1907. [1] Therefore, it was changed to Euryale limburgensisC. Reid, E. Reid published by Clement Reid and Eleanor Mary Reid in July 1910. [8] [2] The type locality is Tegelen, Limburg Province, the Netherlands. [2] It has been proposed to move it to a separate genus PseudoeuryaleP.I. Dorof. as Pseudoeuryale limburgensis(C. Reid, E. Reid) P.I. Dorof. published by Pavel Ivanovich Dorofeev in October 1972 . [9]

Distribution

It occurred in the Netherlands, [2] Greece, [3] Italy, [5] [4] and France. [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nymphaeales</span> Order of flowering plants

The Nymphaeales are an order of flowering plants, consisting of three families of aquatic plants, the Hydatellaceae, the Cabombaceae, and the Nymphaeaceae. It is one of the three orders of basal angiosperms, an early-diverging grade of flowering plants. At least 10 morphological characters unite the Nymphaeales. One of the traits is the absence of a vascular cambium, which is required to produce both xylem (wood) and phloem, which therefore are missing. Molecular synapomorphies are also known.
