Oval entire-margined leaves with triveined acrodromous venation

D i s c u s s i o n: Wide ovate, triveined leaves do not always belong to the Lauraceae . Hably and Kvaček (1998) interpreted such leaf forms from the Lower Oligocene of Eger-Kiseged as representatives of Hamamelidaceae ( Matudaea ). Similar leaves occur also at Kučlín (pl. 1, fig. 3) and Staré Sedlo Fm. ( Daphnogene pseudopolymorpha E. KNOBLOCH et KVAČEK in Knobloch et al. 1996). Epidermal anatomy is necessary to prove their affinities.
