M a t e r i a l. NHMW 1878/6/7654, Kovar-Eder et al. (2004: pl. 8, fig. 7) and counterpart Ett. 5652, NHMW 1878/6/7691.

D e s c r i p t i o n. Incomplete three-veined leaves; lamina elliptic to slightly obovate, somewhat asymmetrical, l × w about 23–45 × 10–20 mm, ratio l/w about 2.2, base incomplete asymmetrical convex, apex acuminate; margin entire, apically faintly (?) crenulate; venation acrodromous; midvein straight, medium thick, lateral main veins at acute angles, slightly curved towards apically (convex), steeply ascending into apical third of lamina; secondaries brochidodromous, very sparse, alternate, at moderate angles first one arising at about half the length of lamina; lateral primaries and secondaries giving rise to exmedial veinlets, regularly looping along margin; tertiaries and higher order veins reticulate.

R e m a r k s. In Kovar-Eder et al. (2004) the description of Celtis japeti UNGER was based on specimen NHMW 1878/6/7654 which is less complete than specimen NHMW 1878/6/7691. The reinvestigation of the specimens did not confirm the presence of teeth. Therefore, the taxonomic assignment proposed by Kovar-Eder at al. (2004) has been revised.
