UCMP PB 02016 - 201239, UCMP PB 02016 - 201240, UF 15753 - 78205, UF 18054 - 22886, 55045, 55055. P l a n t F o s s i l N a m e s R e g i s t r y N u m b e r. PFN 000564 (for new species). E t y m o l o g y. The species name honors Mike and Sandra Sprunger who collected and donated some of the finest examples. T y p e l o c a l i t y. Vicinity of Bonanza, Utah, USA (UF locality 18054: 39 ° 53 ′ 40.76 ″ N, 109 ° 8 ′ 42.31 ″ W). T y p e h o r i z o n a n d a g e. The Parachute Creek Member, early to middle Eocene, ca. 47 Ma. D i a g n o s i s. Fruit a tabular, button-shaped circumscissile capsule, rounded-polygonal in transverse section with 4 to 6 equal to unequal sides. Capsule unilocular, circumscissile with an apical operculum closely fitting like a stopper. Lateral walls smooth, straight. Basal surface of locule with 7 – 11 smooth, obpyriform, slightly raised areas radiating from a central point. Obpyriform areas pointed proximally, with somewhat convex lateral margins and round distal margins. Obpyriform areas with corresponding cycle of smaller indentations on the basal external surface. D e s c r i p t i o n. Fruits tabular, button-shaped circumscissile capsules 2 – 4 mm high and 18 – 30 mm in diameter, rounded-polygonal in transverse section with 4 to 6 equal to unequal sides. Capsule unilocular, circumscissile with an apical operculum closely conforming in shape and size to that of the fruit as viewed transversely, and closely fitting like a stopper. Lateral walls smooth, straight. Basal surface of locule with 7 – 11 smooth, obpyriform, slightly raised areas radiating from a central point. Obpyriform areas are pointed proximally, with somewhat convex lateral margins and round distal margins, 7 – 9 mm long, and 1.3 – 3.0 mm wide. These marks are not evident from the outer surface of the fruit, but a corresponding cycle of smaller indentations occurs on the basal external surface. Fruit wall 1.2 – 1.6 mm thick, composed of sclerenchymatous tissue.	en	Manchester, Steven R., Lott, Terry A. (2019): Bonanzacarpum Sprungerorum Sp.
