Mimosaceae "Acacia" parschlugiana Unger Pl. XXVII, Fig. 3; Pl. XXVIII, Fig. 3; Pl. XXX, Figs. 1-2. 1859 Acacia parschlugiana Ung.; Heer, p. 130, PI. 139, Figs. 45-59. Material: No.: 76.227.2.; 76.314.2. 2 pieces (with counterparts) Description: There were two leguminose fruits of the same species found with counterparts in the flora. The bigger one is a pod, 6.5 cm long and 1.1 cm wide, almost intact. On this piece, the place of 9-10 seeds could be counted. The other specimen is fragmented, the part of the fruit towards the peduncle is broken. The width of the pod here is also 1.1 cm. The width of the pod is uniform along the whole length of the fruit, getting narrow only by the two ends, having, consequently, no medial constrictions or widening towards the apex of the fruit. The apex is regularly rounded on both speci­mens. The seeds could be relatively large, their form being slightly oval. They were situated in the direction of the axis of the pod, i.e., in horizon­tal position. The best analogy of the Vértesszőlős specimens is probably that of the Acacia parschlugiana found among the many leguminose fruits published by HEER (1859). The taxonomical position of the Acacia parschlugiana is still fairly ob­scure. The leguminose fruit, however, proved that the representatives of the family of Mimosaceae were equally present in the flora. Viciaceae Wisteria Nutt. cf. Wisteria aff. fallax (Nathorst) Tanai et Onoe Pl. XXIX, Figs. 3-4; Fig. 114. 1883 Sophora (?) fallax Nathorst; Nathorst, p. 58, PI. 10, Figs. 11-12; PI. 11, Fig. 2. 1961 Wisteria fallax (Nath.) Tanai et Onoe; Tanai et Onoe, p. 45, Pl. 10, Fig. 6; Pl. 14, Figs. 2-4. 1971 Wisteria aff. fallax (Nath.) Tanai et Onoe; Buzek, p. 61, PI. 25, Figs. 1-15; Text-fig. 8. Material: No.: 76.56.1. 1 piece Description: The length of the lamina is 2 cm, its width is 1.25 cm. The apex is missing, but probably it used to be rounded. The basis is rounded as well. The petiole of the leaf is nearly 0.5 cm long. The width of the petiole is surprisingly great compared to the size of the leaf. The midvein is also very strong, the veins of the secondary order are also visible. The venation is camptodromous, however, this cannot be observed on all of the secondary veins. The angle of divergence of the secondary veins is gradually decreasing from the basis upwards: 62 , 45 , 38 , 32 . The distance between the veins in the same direction are the following: 0.3, 0.45, 0.45 cm. The vein system of the tertiary order is fairly irregular; on one hand, forming minor loops on the intersecondary area or running straight, on the other hand, running towards the margin forming loops here and there. The plant was described first from the Japanese flora under the name of Sophora fallax , later assigned to the genus Wisteria by TANAI and 0N0E (1961) B0ZEK (1971) published it for the first time from the European flora. In his opinion it is not absolutely sure that the same species was spotted in the Japanese and the European flora, respectively. Jhe Vértesszőlős piece agrees considerably with the specimens described by BUZEK, therefore we are using the name W. aff. fallax as well. Only a single specimen was found here, thus probably it could play only an inferior role in the Vértesszőlős Upper Oligo­cène flora.
