Euryale lissa is a fossil species of Euryale from the Pliocene of Brunssum, Limburg Province, Netherlands[1] and and from Höchst, Germany.[2][3]

Description

[edit]

The obovate, smooth, 7 mm long, and 6 mm wide seeds have a prominent raphe.[4] The surface of the seed is smooth[2] or has a finely granulate texture.[4]

Taxonomy

[edit]

It was first published as Euryale lissa C. Reid, E. Reid by Clement Reid and Eleanor Mary Reid in 1915.[4][1] It has been proposed to place it in a separate genus Pseudoeuryale P.I. Dorof. as Pseudoeuryale lissa (C. Reid, E. Reid) Doweld published by Alexander Borisovitch Doweld in 2022.[5][6] In one study it is suggested that Euryale lissa may represent immature seeds of Euryale limburgensis.[7]

Distribution

[edit]

It is known from the type locality Brunssum, Limburg Province, Netherlands,[1] and from Höchst, Germany.[2][3]
