Hably, Lilla: Catalogue of the Hungarian Cenozoic leaf, fruit and seed floras from 1856 to 2005

Studia bot. hung. 37. pp. 41-129, 2006 CATALOGUE OF THE HUNGARIAN CENOZOIC LEAF, FRUIT AND SEED FLORAS FROM 1856 TO 2005 L. HABLY Department of Botany, Hungarian Natural History Museum H-1476 Budapest, Pf. 222, Hungary; hably@bot.nhmus.hu Starting with the earliest publications the catalogue records all macrofloras of Hungary published between 1856 and 2005. The author already completed a similar work, focused on leaf floras, in 1985. This new expanded edition not only completes the list of references with studies published during the last twenty years, but also adds data absent in the earlier edition or, if necessary, completes them with the related up-to-date results of scientific research (e.g. age, revised nomenclature). Certain changes ensued in the place of deposition of the collections arc also mentioned. The taxa are recorded first by their geological age then by locality. Similarly to the structure of the former publication, the listing of taxa cites the literature in which they were published, then gives the fossiliferous rocks, layers and the place where the collection is deposited at present. It is hoped that the catalogue will greatly facilitate the work of researchers focusing on floristical comparisons and floral development. Key words: leaf flora, fruit and seed flora, Cenozoic, catalogue, Hungary INTRODUCTION During the last twenty years numerous palaeobotanical works have been published that introduce new localities, record new taxa, and provide taxonomic revisions of materials from old, well-known localities. By publishing the present catalogue our aim is to give a summary of the present-date knowledge of the Cenozoic flora of Hungary. The references listed in this catalogue do not necessarily include all palaeobotanical works: studies that have a focus on non-floristical topic, e.g. taphonomy, vegetation, climate change, and do not mention floristical data, are not cited here. The names of taxa published in old works appear in the first place in form of the original nomenclature. A supplement of works published in local, hardly accessible publications is also included. At the same time, if it is unequivocal, the present-day valid name is given after an equality sign. Thanks to the increasing geological knowledge and new methods applied in age estimation of the localities the palaeobotanical records became more accurate. Indicating fossiliferous layers and sediments has a great importance when comparing floras, e.g. volcanic and other floras. In addition, layer and geological formation provide information on the age of the flora. Studia Botanica Hungarica 37. 2006 Hungarian Natural History Museum. Budapest
