M a t e r i a l. 1 specimen, Líšeň-Neklež ( MB107 ) .

D e s c r i p t i o n. Incomplete leaf lanceolate, 52 mm long by 8 mm wide, base and apex not preserved, margin crenulate to serrate with fine teeth, venation eucamptodromous to brochidodromous, midrib strong, moderate, secondary veins alternate, numerous, curved towards margin, originating at 40° to 60°, tertiary veins and higher order venation poorly preserved.

R e m a r k s. The material is assigned to Salix varians based on the leaf morphology. Another species, S. haidingeri ETTINGSH. , differs in more slender leaves. S. varians is comparable to the living S. bonplandiana KUNTH on the basis of its leaf epidermal structure (Bůžek 1971), and is usually interpreted as a shrub element of swamps and their periphery ( Kvaček and Bůžek 1983).
