D e s c r i p t i o n. Incomplete leaves broadly elliptic to ovate, 19 to 26 mm long, 14 to 23 mm wide (maximum in upper third of lamina), apex round to acute, base rounded with fragmentary petiole, margin in upper part distinctly undulate, basal part entire, venation simple craspedodromous, midrib strong, straight or curved, secondary veins straight or curved upward, alternate, departing from primary vein at acute angles, basal pair distinct and opposite, tertiary veins often straight or forked, poorly preserved.
R e m a r k s. This fossil-species is a common riparian element of Miocene plant assemblages in Europe (e.g., Bůžek 1971, Teodoridis 2003, 2006, Zidianakis et al. 2007, Worobiec 2014, Kovar-Eder and Schweigert 2018), and shows affinity to the genera Fothergilla , Parrotia and Shaniodendron ( Kvaček and Hurník 2000, Worobiec 2014). Kvaček and Bůžek (1983) defined a plant association of Parrotia-Ulmus pyramidalis from the Most Basin, representing riparian vegetation along rivers and deltas.
