Lower Badenian, J =Sarmatian PÁLFALVY (1981) published the species from the Eocene locality of Tatabánya, Hosszúhajtai valley. It is frequent in the Lower Oligocène and in the stage Ottnangian. In consequence of its wide ecological tolerance the species appears in humid as well as in dry climates. In Hungary the most important locality of E. orsbergensis is Ipolytarnóc.

FAGACEAE Castanopsis elisabethae KOL. 1964 Castanopsis elisabethae KOL.; KOLAKOVSKI p. 79, PI. 24, Fig. 5. 1976 Castanopsis elisabethae KOL.; KOLAKOVSKI & SHAKRYL p. 117, PI. 6, Figs. 7, 8, 10. Leaf simple, lanceolate, lamina length 6.9 cm, width 1.5 cm. Apex, base acute. Midrib strong, 11 pairs of secondary veins branch off. Veins regular, straight, the angle of divergence ca. 25°. Every secondary vein terminates in a small upright pointed bearded teeth. Bifurcations from the secondary veins can sometimes be observed near the margin. Between the secondary veins intermediate veins start off from the midrib. Teeth are different from those of the other species of Castanopsis and Driophyllum in being bearded and upright. The species was found in the Sarmatian and Pontusian flora of Abhasia. Our locality is much •older than those floras, but generally noticeable is the appearance of the Hungarian Paleogene species in the Neogene of Abhasia. In Abhasia the deterioration of the climate was not so strong even in the Neogene as in Hungary. So one may frequently find the same species in the Hungarian Paleogene and in the Abhasian Neogene.
