1992 Podocarpium podocarpum (A.BRAUN) HEREND. , p. 732.

M a t e r i a l. 2 leaflets, Líšeň-Neklež (MB100, MB101).

D e s c r i p t i o n. Leaflets shortly petiolulate, oval, 17 and 12 mm long, 4.5 and 5 mm wide, apex acute, base asymmetric, round, margin entire, midrib strong, straight; secondary veins poorly preserved, only one camptodromous basal vein.

R e m a r k s. The leaflets of Podocarpium podocarpum known from the Cheb, Sokolov and Most Basins, the Czech Republic and from Parschlug, Austria are often associated with pods (Bůžek 1971, Bůžek et al. 1996, Teodoridis 2002, 2003, 2006, Kovar-Eder et al. 2004). Gregor and Hantke (1980) suggested a close affinity between fruits of the genus Podogonium HEER (i.e., Podocarpium ) and stalked fruits of Gleditsia aquatica MARSHALL and Gleditsia heterophylla BUNGE nom. illeg., distributed in swamps in southeast USA. In contrast, Herendeen (1992) compared it with African tropical to subtropical representatives of the genera Gilletiodendron VERMOESEN , Cryptosepalum BENTH. and Tessmannia HARMS. According to Kovar-Eder et al. (2004), this legume inhabited mostly gallery forests under subtropical and warm-temperate climates.
