2015 Salicites petzeldianus Goepp. 1844 ; Halamski and Kvaček 2015: 122–123; text-fig. 14; pl. 10: 1, 4, 6–8.

Material.—Uncertain, Bolesławiec or Luisenhain, Assemblage 8, lower–middle Santonian: MB.Pb.2018/0052.1–2, 0054.2–3.

Description.—Leaf simple, microphyll (ca. 3–6 cm long), petiolate. Blade attachment marginal, blade symmetrical, shape elliptic; base decurrent, asymmetric; apex rounded. Venation pattern pinnate, midvein stout; secondaries probably camptodromous, their attachment excurrent, spacing decreasing distally. Margin unlobed, untoothed.

Remarks.—The described material agrees with S. petzeldianus Goeppert, 1844 , in the observable characters of shape (blade and base) and venation pattern. This generalised form may , in fact, correspond to more than one biological species.

Stratigraphic and geographic range.— Coniacian, Kłodzko region ; Santonian, Lower Silesia .
