SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS LONICERA. 215 
FOSSIL SPECIES. 
L. peperpirA, Heer, Fl. Tert. Helv. 3: 24. pl. 104. f. 19 
(1859). 
Only fruits have been found near Oeningen; Schenk* and 
Zittelt say that they probably do not belong to Lonicera at 
all, but resemble much more a fruit of a Labiate or Asper- 
ifoliacea. Zittel, however, is inclined to refer the fruits of 
Heer’s Cornus Deickii to the genus Lonicera. 
L. prisca, Ettingshausen, Denkschr. Akad. Wiss. Wien 
54:319. pl. 5. f. 8, 9 (1888); 58: 282 (1891). 
Only leaves are known, found near Leoben and near 
Schoenegg in Styria. Ettingshausen’s assertion that it 
closely resembles L. nigra, seems correct as far as can be 
judged from his illustration.
