Genus Taxodium RICH., 1810

Taxodium dubium (STERNB.) HEER, 1853 Pl. 1, Figs 6c, 7

M a t e r i a l. Two leafy shoots from GLA20 (MGPTPU141005c, MGPT-PU141006).

D e s c r i p t i o n. In the longer shoot, the helically arranged leaves are slightly curved along their longitudinal axes. They have only slightly narrowing but decurrent bases, typical for fragments of leading shoots. By contrast, the shorter shoot fragment (Pl. 1, Fig. 7) shows leaves in two ranks at the shoot, which are more contracted, twisted and petiolate.
