The morphotype assigned here to Magnolia cf. liblarensis (KRÄUSEL et WEYLAND) KVAČEK (Pl. 3, Fig. 7) is characterized by a simple elliptic entire-margined leaf with cuneate base and relatively dense brochidodromous venation. Its definite identification requires anatomical characteristics, including mesophyllous lens-shaped oil cells and other details of the cuticle structure which are not available in the Capo di Fiume material. It is common in the Miocene of Europe, mainly in the lignite basins ( Schneider 2007) and compares well with the living small-leaved magnolias growing in wet habitats, e.g., M. virginiana LINNAEUS.
