BETULACEAE Betulaceae gen. et sp. One badly preserved leaf. It is symmetrical, petiole is not noticeable (it has not remained). Shape elliptic. Lamina length 5.7 cm, width 3.4 cm. Apex has not remained but presumably it was acute. Base is obtuse and seems to be a bit cordate. Margin is toothed. The teeth are compound. Under the main teeth smaller teeth are also visible. Venation is craspedodromous with a straight midvein. Secondary venation arises at an angle of about 45° -50° and its course is straight. The tertiary venation is not observable. Material: No. 258a. Carpinus grandis UNGER 1850 sensu HEER 1856 1959 Carpinus grandis UNGER: ANDREÁNSZKY, p. 89, Tafel 21, Figs 6-7, Tafel 22, Figs 3, 5-6. 1971 Carpinus grandis UNG. sensu HEER: B8ZEK, p. 50, Pl. 16, Figs 1-3. We have lots of specimens of this species. The leaves aie symmetrical and have petiole. Lamina length 1.7-6 cm, width 1 -3.2 cm. Shape narrow ovate, apex acute, base obtuse or rounded, in some cases cordate. Margin is irregularly toothed and the teeth are compound. It has main and secondary teeth and in some cases a tertiary tooth also exists. The teeth are weakly attenuate and the sinuses are angular. Venation is craspedodromous. The midvein is straight. The angle of divergence of the secondaries is acute and they run into the main teeth. Their course is straight. Basally from two or three pairs of secondaries a pair of vein arises and runs into the teeth. The first pair of them arises at an obtuse angle. The tertiary venation is very thin, presumably orthogonal reticulate. Material: No. 18, 62, 67b, 70a, 71, 76, 85, 86, 93, 98, 108, 250b, 269, 274a, 275b, 276a, 277, 279a 282, 284, 292, 295, 298a, 301c, 356, 357, 363, 413, 421, 429b, 430b, 436b, 518, 520, 540b, 551b. Carpinus neilreichii KovÁTS 1856 (Fig. 8) 1856 Carpinus neilreichii Kov.: KOVÁTS, p. 23, Tab. 4, Figs 1-3. 1959 Carpinus neilreichii Kov: ANDREÁNSZKY. p. 90, Tafel 22, Figs 7-8. The species is represented with 9 winged fruits. The fruits are leaf-like and asymmetrical. They consist of one main part and the width of it is the largest in its middle region. Margin is toothed, bigger and smaller teeth are presented. The teeth themselves aie attenuate and the sinuses are angular. A thick venation arising from one point of the base is observable. M a t e r i a 1: No. 137b-140, 210e, 247b, 438c, 446b, 521a. Carpinus pyramidalis GAUDIN in GAUDIN et STROZZI 1858 (Fig. 9) 1856 Carpinus producta UNG.: KOVÁTS, p. 24, Tab. 4, Fig. 5. 1959 Carpinus pyramidalis (GOEPP.) HF.ER: ANDREÁNSZKY, p. 89, Tafel 21, Fig. 5. We have 4 specimens of the other fruit of the Carpinus genus being present in this flora. It is leaf-like, asymmetrical and composed of three parts. The middle lobe is much bigger than the others. Their margin is entire. A thin venation is also observable. Material: No. 121, 240a, 289a 360. FAGACEAE Fagus haidingieri KOVÁTS 1856 1856 Fagus haidingieri Kov: KOVÁTS, p. 24, Tab. 4, Figs 6-7. 1969 Fagus haidingieri Kov.: KNOBLOCH, p. 79, Taf. 36. Only some specimens have turned up. The leaves are symmetrical and have relatively short petiole. Lamina length 6.2-7.7 cm, width 2.9-4 cm. Shape narrow ovate, apex presumably acute, base weakly cordate. Margin is simply toothed. The teeth are acute and small-sized. They are hardly visible to the naked eye. Their apical side is concave,
