Phaseolites sp. 1

Pl. 9, Fig. 4

1961 Leguminosites sp. ; Knobloch, p. 279, pro parte, pl. 5, fig. 15.

Leaflets entire-margined, oval, symmetric to slightly oblique, rounded at base, rounded at apex, attaining at maximum 30 mm in length and 22 mm in width, sessile to very shortly petiolulate, venation very fine, dense, eucamptodromous.

D i s c u s s i o n. Similar legume leaflets have been described from Bechlejovice ( Kvaček and Walther 2004, p. 31, pl. 13, fig. 5–7, as Leguminosites sp. 1 ) and Kundratice ( Kvaček and Walther 1998, p. 20, pl. 10, fig. 9–10, as Leguminosae gen. et sp., forma 1–2). We use the fossil taxon Phaseolites for such legume foliage instead of Leguminosites , which is typified by carpological material ( Bowerbank 1840).
