Fruits double winged, nut centrally positioned, ca. 6 mm across, wings reniform, laterally attached in one plane, showing very fine radially disposed venation.

D i s c u s s i o n: This extinct member of the Juglandaceae ( Wing and Hickey 1984) was described from the Early Oligocene to latest Eocene Bembridge Marl ( Reid and Chandler 1926), Socka ( Unger 1850b) and from other localities of the European Eocene (e.g., Eckfeld – Frankenhäuser and Wilde 1994, Messel – Manchester et al. 1994), rarely in Early Oligocene ( Manchester 1987a). Although the whole plant is not known, typical slender, fine toothed leaflets and complete leaves accompany these juglandaceous fruits at Eckfeld ( Wilde and Frankenhäuser 1998). Also at Kučlín, these fruits co-occur with juglandaceous foliage of this kind (see the next heading, specimens Nos BP 55.2380.1, 55.2341.1, KIN 20.1).
