2002a Cedrelospermum sp. Kvaček, p. 221, pl. 2, fig. 3.

Leaves simple, petiole short, stout, lamina narrow, falcate, uniform in form, from linear to narrow elliptic to narrow lanceolate, margin finely simple toothed, venation craspedodromous, midrib thick, usually curved, secondaries dense, the number of pairs corresponding to the marginal teeth, higher-order venation reticulate.

D i s c u s s i o n: Tremophyllum microphyllum is similar to slender leaves attached to a fertile twig of Cedrelospermum from Messel ( Wilde and Manchester 2003). The Kučlín population is much more variable in size and is one of the most frequent morphotypes in the Kučlín flora.
