MONOCOTYLEDONES SMILACACEAE Smilax weberi WESSEL in WESSEL et WEBER, 1855 (Plate XII: 2) As already stated by ANDREÁNSZKY, (1966), Smilax leaves occur very rarely in EWU (MM 62.2951.1, W 1576, BP 70.135.1-orig. ANDREÁNSZKY 1966, textf. 99). In view of the known variability of the foliage we include both oval and hastate forms into a single species and thus depart from the view expressed by ANDREÁNSZKY (1966). ZINGIBERACEAE Spirematospermum wetzleri (HEER, 1859) CHANDLER, 1925 This species was recorded at EW by PALFALVY (in NAGY & PALFALVY 1963) and the material was verified at MÁFI. PALMAE Sabal major (UNGER, 1847) HEER, 1855 (Plate V: 5) Fragmentary leaf fans of sabaloid palms occur but rarely at EW. One specimen representing a basal part of the leaf with a stout petiole (2.5 cm across) and leaf lamina segmented into quite narrow parts (5 mm wide) has been found at EWM (MM s.n. other specimens figured by ANDREÁNSZKY (1949, pl. 3-BP 83.288.1) and PALFALVY (in NAGY & PALFALVY 1963, pi. 9, f. 8) and fragments of segments (MM 64.26.1, 56.1451.1 etc) safely demonstrate this warm element also in EWU. Calamus noszkyi JABLONSKY, 1914 Leaf fans of calamoid palms are a regular accessory element of EMU. Complete leaves can be met (NAGY & PALFALVY 1963, pi. 10, f. 1) along with numerous fragmentary specimens (MM 66.367.1,) 66.416.1, s.n., BP 83.383.1). We do not consider Phoenicites legányi ANDREÁNSZKY (1955, 48. pl. 3. f. 15 - BP 71.419.1) to be specifically different and include this fragment together with Phoenicites sp. (ANDREÁNSZKY 1955, pl. 3, f. 14. -BP 83.383.1) into C.noszkyL Tuzsonia hungarica ANDREÁNSZKY, 1949 (Plate X: 6) Theese peculiar inflorescences were described in detail by ANDREÁNSZKY (1949b) but unfortunately we have not been able to study the type-specimens, which are missing from BP. The material kept in BP (67.192.1 etc) and MM (s.n.) show enough details but we do not venture to attempt a revision since we are not specialists in the taxonomy of palms. These fossils occur rarely in EWU.
