Fig. 1. Smilax tataensis sp. n. No. 76.4.230. — Fig. 2. Smilax grandifolia (UNG) HEER. — Fig. 3. Smilax obtusifolia HEER. — Fig. 4. Smilax praeaspera ANDR. — Fig. 5. Smilax borsodense ANDR. — Fig. 6. Smilacites grandifolia UNG. latitudoque eius maxima 8.3 cm. Folium in parte superiore tertia 6.2 cm latum, margó zius integerrimus. Nervi septemque ex eodem loco oriuntur. Nervus médius rede usque ad apicem decurrit, duo alii utrinque sub angulo 46° gr. arcuato emissi et medio recurvati in apice se conjungunt, ellipsem regulärem conformentes. Duo nervi marginales sub angulo 106° gr. excurrunt et secum nervis secundariis ee internis nervis primariis emissis conjungunt. Solum unus nervus secundarius tenuissimus e nervo medio exoriens videri potest. The species shows most similarity with Smilax grandifolia (UNG) HEER (HEER 1855) (Fig. 2.), however, the two primordary veins embrace an ovate form and not a regular ellipsoidal one, and also the length-width ratio differs considerably. Their shape is not entirely similar either since the narrowing down of the Figs. 7-8. Smilax tataensis sp. n.: 7 = No. 76.4.232., 8 = No. 76.4.230.
