D i s c u s s i o n. Ovuliferous strobili of the genus Microzamia differ from similar strobili of the genus Bayeritheca J. KVAČEK et PACLTOVÁ in having two ovate seeds on the inner side of the ovuliferous scale, not pollen (J. Kvaček 1997, J. Kvaček and Pacltová 2001). The material from the Maletín locality, preserved as an impression in sandstone, is difficult to assess. However, helically arranged scales forming heads with four protuberances in central part are a characteristic feature of the genus Microzamia , and therefore allow us to assign the studied material to this genus.
