Gomphonema rhombicum Fricke
Type Information
Type locality: "Appleby, Westmoreland (B.A.)" [Cumbria, England]; (Schmidt 1904: pl. 248: fig. 1) Notes: "B.A." indicates that Fricke and/or M.Schmidt examined material in Berg Akademie, Berlin. Isresant & Ector (2016: "En cours d'impression, nous apprenons qu'une partie au moins du matériel de la Berg Akademie, dont la collection de TEMPÈRE et PERAGALLO (1e éd.), existe toujours et se trouve encore à Berlin, au Bundesanstalt fur Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (conservatrice : Docteur J. STRAHL, que nous remercions pour cette précieuse information). La lame n° 469 « Appleby » de cette Collection de Berlin constitue donc très vraisemblablement l'holotype enfin retrouvé de Gomphonema rhombicum M. SCHMIDT (syn. : G. rhombicum FRICKE)." Plate 248: fig. 1 was drawn by M.Schmidt but the name should be attributed to Fricke.
