Material: sample No 849, depth 1694.0 m, No 867, depth 1747.5 m An almost complete leaflet in good state of preservation. Its total length is approximately 4.6 cm, the measurable length is 4.2 cm. Its width is 1.1 cm. Its shape is elongated ovate. The venation is dense, the margin of the leaflet is toothed. The sparsely set teeth are small, thorn-like, divergent with apices pointing upwards. Their apical side is shorter than their basal side. In all teeth a secondary vein termination can be found. The borehole yielded separate leaflets only, no complete composite leaf was found. The species is known to occur in Hungary from the Middle Eocene (Hably 1986), playing an essential role in some Lower Oligocène floras (Kiseged, Budapest-Obuda), In the Upper Oligocène localities it generally constitutes an accessory element becoming abundant only in a few cases. In the Lower Miocene Ipolytarnóc flora it occurs in great abundance (Hably 1985). It is a Palaeotropical element. The last strayfind of the species is known from the Sarmatian assemblage of Erdőbénye. In the later part of the Miocene it was already extinct from Hungary.
