Dicotylophyllum sp. 2

Pl. 20, Fig. 2–3

1961 Leguminosites sp. ; Knobloch, p. 280, pl. 14, fig. 6. 1998 “ Palaeolobium ” sp. 1; Kvaček and Walther, p. 23,

pl. 13, fig. 1–2, text-fig. 13.24.

Leaves long petiolate, entire-margined with narrow elliptical to elongate blade, 19 mm long, 9 mm wide, rounded at apex, cuneate at base.

D i s c u s s i o n. The affinity of these leaf forms is quite uncertain ( Kvaček and Walther 1998); Knobloch (1961) believed that such morpho-types may represent foliage of legumes. Contrary to most legume leaflets, the discussed leaf remains are long petiolate and in our opinion may more likely represent simple leaves.
