Rhamnaceae JUSSIEU View in CoL
A single leaf impression is attributable to Paliurus tiliaefolius (UNGER) BŮŽEK , although this ovate leaf with widely cuneate base and blunt apex differs in its entire margin from most records occurring in the European Miocene (see Bůžek 1971). The type population from the middle Miocene of Parschlug ( Kovar-Eder et al. 2004) confirms the foliage variation of this plant. It is a mesophytic Miocene element contrary to the extant Mediterranean Paliurus spina-christi Miller that adapted as a relict to the present summer dry climate in southern Europe.
