There are fragmented several specimens of poor state of preservation, mainly basal fragmens. On these specimens, apart from the midvein and the basal veins, generally no significant identification marks can be observed, it is impossible to identify than to the species. Most likely they belong to several species. The genus is present in all the Egerian floras in Hungary, as well as several floras of the Lower Miocene and Lower Oligocène. We can state about the genus - including the previously described Daphnogene species as well - that as a member of the subtropical laurelforest vegetation, they probably comprised the shrub level of the forest. Considering their climatic requirements, they are palaeotropical elements preferring warm climate. Deduced from their great numbers and diversity, the genus flourished in the Egerian stage. Laurophyllum Goeppert Laurophyllum s p. Pl. VI, Fig. 4. Material: MÁFI: BK-1125, BK-2917 Only two specimens were classified as belonging to this taxon. They are long, elongated leaves of entire margin. The complete specimen is 1.2 cm wide and 8.4 cm long, while in case of the other piece only the width of the leaf was measureable, that is 0. 9 cm. The apex and the base are acute. No other venation, apart from the midvein, can be observed. Several species of the genus are known from different stages of the Tertiary. They prefer warm climate and represent the same biotope (laurel forest vegetation) as Daphnogene. Platanaceae Platanus L. Platanus neptuni (Ett. ) BÛzek, Holy et Kvacek Pl. VI, Fig. 5; Pl.
