M a t e r i a l. Oriolo MSF 778.

D e s c r i p t i o n. Leaflet, lamina cordate, 35 mm long, 25 mm wide, base strongly cordate, lobate, apex acuminate, venation festooned brochidodromous, leaf margin spiny, ca. 3 spines/ 1 cm lamina margin.

R e m a r k s. The leaves from Oriolo are very similar to the specimens of Epimedium praeaspera from the Pliocene flora of Willershausen ( Knobloch 1998). According to Givulescu (1979), this species is closely related to the extant E. alpinum

L. native to broad-leaved deciduous mountain forests from Albania northwards to Austria and Piedmont ( Italy).
