Quercus lignitum UNGER , p. 113, pl. 31, figs 5-7 (Parschlug). Myrica lignitum (UNGER) SAPORTA , p. 102 (? non pl. 5, fig. 10) (Parschlug).

Deatached fragments of leaf lamina, up to 11 mm long and 6 mm wide, midrib strong, venation not preserved. Abaxial cuticle bearing fully preserved peltate trichomes with resin content on biserial stalks.

D i s c u s s i o n: Such peltate trichomes are typical of this widely spread species ( Kovar 1982), but inadequately preserved material without other details of epidermal structure prevents us from discussing this record in more details. For more information see Kovar-Eder et al. (2004).

M a t e r i a l: Leaf fragments on slides, G 9307-9319 (KR 139, 140).
