Hably, Lilla: Egerian fossil flora from Kesztölc, NW Hungary

Symplocaceae Symplocos Jucquin Symplocos sp. Pl. IX, Fig. 6. Material; MÁFI: BK-1133 In the Kesztölc floral assemblage only one fragmented specimen of the species was found. The shape of the leaf cannot be determined exactly, probably it was of elongated ovate shape. The apex is missing. It is the basal part of the leaf which is preserved, though the basis itself is broken. The venation is camptodromous. The midvein is strong, the secondary veins are bent upwards in an arch, and among them in some cases the branching out of further veins can be observed, i.e. a dense tertiary venation network connecting the secondary veins. The margin of the leaf is seemingly entire, however, with proper magnification small teeth, pointed, placed relatively far from each other can be spotted on the margin. The leaf is similar to some other leaves from so far unpublished Egerian sites/and is seemingly identical with the leafprints 'described from the Wind-brickyard from Eger under the name Symplocos by ANDREÁNSZKY (1966).

Material: MÁFI: BK-1103 In the Kesztölc outcrop, only one leaf remain was found from the species. The original length of the leaf was 6.2 cm, its width 3.4 cm. The shape of the lamina is obovate, the apex is broken, the basis asymmetrical, ending in a petiole. The venation is camptodromous. The secondary veins run upwards in an arch. The species is frequent in European Tertiary floras. It is present in several, mainly Miocene floras in Hungary, but never in great quantities, represented only by a few specimens. Leguminosae Leguminocarpon Heer Leguminocarpon div. sp. Pl. X, Figs 2-3. Material: BP: 85. 365. 1., 85. 364. 1. MÁFI: BK-1105, BK-2484 There are pieces of different length preserved from the fruit, the longest of which is 4. 3 cm. Their width varies between 0.6-1.1 cm. The tip of the specimens is pointed. The distance of the seeds from each other is variable, in some instances they are closely packed, in some others they are rather loosely situated, 0.4 cm from each other. The seeds are typically round, their diameter is above 0. 6-0. 7 cm. The remains possibly represent several species. A more detailed study will be carried out in cooperation with J. GREGOR in a separate issue reviewing the rich and characteristic leguminous flora of the Hungarian Egerian.
