M a t e r i a l. A single shoot from GLA20 (MGPTPU141001).

D e s c r i p t i o n. A leafy shoot, leaves helically arranged, falcate, slightly hook-shaped, with broad basis attached to the axis, apex acute.

R e m a r k s. The leaves are particularly short, similar to those of Taiwania described by Fischer and Butzmann (2000) from the Pliocene of central Italy. The occurrence of other specimens in the Messinian of Italy was already reported by Teodoridis et al. (2015b).
