Doliostrobus MARION , nom. cons.

T y p e: Doliostrobus sternbergii MARION , type cons. (= Doliostrobus taxiformis (STERNBERG) KVAČEK var. sternbergii MAI et WALTHER ex KVAČEK ) selected by Kvaček (2002c).

The recent characterization and discussion on this genus by Kunzmann (1999: 87-89) requires additional rectifications. The so far known specimens of fertile cone scales show unequivocally only one single seed per scale, with one basal-lateral wing, only exceptionally with a double wing ( Kvaček 2002c, pl. 3, fig. 1). The wood structure of twigs corresponds to the Doliostroboxylon- type ( Rüffle and Süss 2001, Dolezych in Junge et al. 2005).

The comprehensive study of all records ( Kunzmann 1999) shows only one variable species of Doliostrobus in the Palaeogene of Europe, Doliostrobus taxiformis (STERNBERG) KVAČEK (1971) . According to the leaf morphology, the population from Kučlín belongs to the variety with shorter dimorphic needle leaves as defined by Mai and Walther (1985).
