D e s c r i p t i o n: A single incomplete detached leaflet, sessile, oval, lamina up to 35 mm wide, apex not preserved, base rounded to cuneate, slightly asymmetrical, margin subentire venation eucaptodromous, partly semicraspedodromous, midvein almost straight, secondaries in 7 pairs, opposite in the base of the lamina, then alternate, more or less bent admedially, at angels of about 45°; tertiaries percurrent, almost at right angle.

R e m a r k s: This fragmentary leaflet may belong to the foliage of Carya widely spread in the Oligocene of the České středohoří Mountains. The specimen is very incomplete and the determination remains equivocal.
