Leaves are assigned to Myrica lignitum (Unger) Saporta, fruits sometimes even attached to their infructescence axis to M. ceriferiformis Kownas, and male catkins to M. cf. goeppertii Kohlman-Adamska, ZiembińskaTworzydło & Zastawniak. The taphonomic evidence indicates that the different plant organs derive from a single species of Myrica. The fruit size, the unbranched male catkins and mainly the fused filaments into a staminal column in the male flower, clearly pointing towards the section Cerophora (sensu Chevalier 1901) of the subgenus Morella. This points to a closer affinity to the American, African and Macaronesian species ofMyrica than to Asian ones.Myrica cerifera L. is supported as the most similar living relative in terms of gland density on the leaf surface, fruit morphology and male catkin form. The infructescence axes bearing M. ceriferiformis fruits are, however, longer with a higher number of fruits than inM. cerifera. Contrary toM. cerifera, inM. cf. goeppertii the catkins are somewhat longer and the staminal column is shorter than its floret bract.Myricawas probably a dominant taxon along withPinus in an early successional stage of near-coastal wetland forests in the surroundings of Pitsidia. In southeasternNorthAmerica, modern early successional Pinus palustris forests withMyrica cerifera as a differential species serve for comparison.","PeriodicalId":56273,"journal":{"name":"Palaeontographica Abteilung B-Palaeophytologie Palaeobotany-Palaeophytology","volume":"35 1","pages":"149-171"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2015-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75115450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the taxa they recognized were seeds assigned to the extant genus Alpinia Roxb. (Zingiberaceae, Zingiberales). We reinvestigated 28 specimens that were assigned to Alpinia arnensis (Chandler) Mai, Alpinia cf. arnensis, and Alpinia bivascularis Mai from the Ypresian (lower Eocene) of the UK, upper Eocene of Germany, and lower Miocene of Germany using non-destructive synchrotron-based X-ray tomography to reveal internal anatomy. None of the samples studied show an anatomy consistent with extant Alpinia or even Zingiberales. The fossils lack the globose shape, often striate external surface, seed coat structure, operculum, and micropylar collar seen in all Alpinia, and lack the chalazal chamber seen in many Alpinia species. Two specimens from the lower Miocene of Germany showed the structure of fruits of Caricoidea Chandler (Cyperaceae) with a single-layered exocarp, thick mesocarp, and sclerified endocarp. The other specimens are recognized as Carpolithes albolutum nom. nov. (incertae sedis) from the Ypresian of the UK, C. phoenixnordensis sp. nov. (incertae sedis) from the upper Eocene of Germany, C. bivascularis comb. nov. (incertae sedis) from the lower Miocene of Germany as well as indeterminate tegmens from the lower Miocene of Germany. This reinvestigation demonstrates that there is, as yet, no confirmed fossil record for the extant genus Alpinia. Furthermore, at least four different taxa are recognized from what had been two extinct species, enhancing our understanding of these important European Cenozoic carpofloras.","PeriodicalId":56273,"journal":{"name":"Palaeontographica Abteilung B-Palaeophytologie Palaeobotany-Palaeophytology","volume":"18 1","pages":"101-123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2015-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80962371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plant remains are preserved in coarse clastic rocks as imprints devoid of cuticles and occur in marginal marine sediments deposited by a palaeocurrent flowing along the shores of the East Sudetic Island, the origin place of the plants. The main fossil plant localities are Idzików (Kieslingswalde) and NowyWaliszów (Neuwaltersdorf ). The leaf flora consists of thirty-three species, described on the basis of about 320 identifiable specimens. Five fern species (belonging to Nathorstia, Monheimia, cf. Anemia, and Sphenopteris) are mostly represented by single specimens. Conifers are represented by Geinitzia reichenbachii (Geinitz) Hollick & Jeffrey and Frenelopsis aff. alata (K. Feistmantel) Knobloch (foliage) and Geinitzia cf. schlotheimii L. Kunzmann, Knoll&Gaipl andConago sp. (cones). The bulk of the flora consists of twenty-four dicot species, representing the generaDryophyllum, Juglandiphyllites,Dalbergites,Debeya (all the above Eudicotyledoneae),Cinnamomoides, Laurophyllum, Magnoliphyllum, Ficonium, Ettingshausenia, Amelanchites, Dryandroides, Apocynophyllum, Salicites, and Dicotylophyllum (Dicotyledoneae incertae sedis). Dryophyllum geinitzianum (Goepp.) Halamski & J.

GeneraDalbergites,Cinnamomoides,Magnoliphyllum, and Ficonium are emended.Monocots are represented by Pandanites cf. spinatissimus Petrescu & Duşa ex Popa et al. and Smilacites panartius (Bayer) Halamski & J.
