Abstract | The tree-trunk examined originates from NorthHungary, from the coal basin of Salgotarjan. Itsage is Lower Miocene. The presence of scatteredvascular bundles in the 10 cm. long and 8 cm. widetrunk piece shows that it is of palm origin. Theminute anatomical structure also confirms that thepetrifaction in question is a palm-stem. Anotherfossil palm has been reported from Hungary fromthe Lower Miocene, which resembles rather therecent Sabal. The above-mentioned petrifaction isessentially different from this and, therefore, it has been described under a new name: Palmoxylon hungaricum Greg. |
