Berberis cf. teutonica (UNGER) KOVAR-EDER et KVAČEK

Pl. 4, Fig. 6–7

Incomplete obovate leaves, 35 and 30 mm long, 16 and 18 mm wide, base cuneate, apex obtuse, margin almost entire, fine acute teeth in upper part, venation semicraspedodromous with strong, moderate midrib and thinner, straight secondary veins looping by margin, originating at 20–40°, rarely single intersecondaries parallel to secondaries, tertiary veins perpendicular, straight to slightly sinuous, rarely forked, venation of the higher orders regular polygonal reticulate, areolation well developed, 4-sided, veinlets lacking.

Obovate, almost entire-margined leaves showing large loops of sub-basal secondary veins clearly correspond to the morphological characteristic of Berberis . They apparently differ from the common conspicuously dentate Berberis berberidifolia (HEER) PALAMAREV et PETKOVA see also Kovar-Eder et al. (2004).
