Pl. 9, Fig. 6
Fruits 21 to 35 mm long and 17 to 27 mm wide with characteristic involucres consisting of three main triveined lobes and one basal opposite, enveloping the nut (3 to 5 mm in diameter), typical traits of this fossil species (Mai in Jähnichen et al. 1977). They were recovered only rarely in the material at hand. They accompany the above foliage at most sites in the European Oligocene and Miocene. In Italy the involucres have been reported from Messinian ( Bertini and Martinetto 2008) and Pliocene sites ( Fischer and Butzmann 2000), as well as from a site of uncertain Pliocene or Pleistocene age.
M a t e r i a l. Some fruits (Monte Tondo MSF1605, MSF1606; Tossignano MSF38, MSF245, MSF246, MSF247, MSF623).
