Erdei, B.: The Sarmatian flora from Erdőbénye-Ligetmajor, NE Hungary

SYSTEMATIC PART SPHENOPSIDA There is a small (4.5 cm) fragment of a stem available for us. The verticillate leaves are clearly recognizable. However, a more precise taxonomical ranging is impossible. Material: No. 531. GYMNOSPERMATOPHYTA ABIETACEAE The order is represented by pine needles and cataphylls of cones. The leaves are five needles and they presumably belong to the group of Pinus paleostrobus (ETTINGSHAUSEN) HEER (ANDREÁNSZKY 1959). M a t e r i a 1: No. 548, 576-579. CUPRESSACEAE Cupressus cf. sempervirens L. (Fig. 4) 1959 Cupressus cfr. sempervirens L.: ANDREÁNSZKY, p. 56, Tafel 10, Fig. 9. We have found a small fragment of a branch characterized by decussate cataphylls. These are short, obtuse and rhombus-shaped. Material: No. 37c. Fig. 3. Geological profile of the Erdőbénye basin
