2008 Sloanea olmediaefolia (UNGER) KVAČEK et HABLY in Hably and Kvaček, p. 140, fig. 1.

T y p e: 1851/03/23 GBA, designated by Hably and Kvaček (2008) .

Leaves simple, lamina up to 10 cm long, ovate, base cuneate, apex acute, margin finely widely (to coarsely in Suletice-Berand) dentate, venation craspedodromous / semicraspedodromous, midrib straight, secondaries widely spaced, looping along the margin, partly entering the teeth

R e m a r k s: The typical leaf morphotypes assigned to Sloanea olmediifolia are quite rare in the Kučlín flora while certain morphotypes may dominate in other plant assemblages, e.g., at Suletice-Berand ( Kvaček and Walther1995), probably due to microclimatic conditions. This type of foliage is accompanied either by narrow ellipsoidal fruits with shorter spines described below as Sloanea engelhardtii sp. n. (at Markvartice, Holý Kluk Hill, Kundratice) or larger fruits of the same type described as Sloanea elliptica (ANDREÁNSZKY) KVAČEK, HABLY et MANCHESTER (2001) (Tard Clay).

Compressions of the isolated narrow elliptical capsule valves, partly in pairs, 15–20 mm wide and 8 mm wide, inside smooth, outside densely covered with 3–5 mm long blunt spines, subparallel, separated during the whole length.

Engelhardt, to the Tertiary palaeobotany in North Bohemia.

T y p e l o c a l i t y: Suletice-Berand, North Bohemi- an České středohoří Mountains, Oligocene.

R e m a r k s: Rare specimens of these fruits similar in morphology to the designated type from Suletice-Berand regularly accompany the large-leaved morphotype of Sloanea in the Oligocene of ČSM (Kvaček et al. 2001, as Sloanea sp. ), newly also in the late Eocene flora at Kučlín.

Fabaceae

Podocarpium A. BRAUN ex STITZENBERGER

Podocarpium hirsutum (ETTINGSHAUSEN) KVAČEK et TEODORIDIS comb. n.

Pl. 5, figs 16-18

1869 Podogonium hirsutum ETTINGSHAUSEN , p. 60, pl. 55, fig. 11 (basionym).

A pod one-seeded, broadly oval, 23 mm long and 14 mm wide, on the surface finely hairy, leaflet narrow elongate, subsessile, rounded on the apex, slightly asymmetrical and cuneate at the base, venation eucaptodromous, midrib straight, thin, secondaries hardly visible, dense and steep.

D i s c u s s i o n: The fruit is similar to the common species of Podocarpium podocarpum spread in Eurasian Miocene, although the dense hairiness on the surface clearly differentiate the Kučlín record from the rest of Podocarpium fossils. The foliage, which we assign to this unique pod does not differ from the Miocene records.
