| Popis: | New interpretation of leaf fossils from the Neogene of Europe belonging to the family Malvaceae s.l. is given. Morphogenera Dombeyopsis Unger emend., Byttneriophyllum Givulescu ex Knobloch et Kvacek, and Laria G. Worobiec et Kvacek morphogen. nov., considered monotypic in our revision, are newly circumscribed. Particularly well‐preserved leaves representing Dombeyopsis lobata Unger (Auenheim); Byttneriophyllum tiliifolium (A. Braun) Knobloch et Kvacek from Belchatow and Ruja, Poland; and Laria rueminiana (Heer) G. Worobiec et Kvacek comb. nov. from Belchatow were examined for detailed macro‐ and micromorphological studies. A survey of epidermal features and leaf macromorphology in extant Malvaceae s.l. was conducted for comparison with the fossils. All three fossil species studied are malvalean, but none of them corresponds in all details with any of the studied living Malvaceae s.l. Macro‐ and micromorphology of leaves suggest that D. lobata has affinities to subfamily Tilioideae Arn., B. tiliifolium pro... |
