1993 Zonalapollenites gracilis Krutzsch; Konzalová
et al., pl. 15, fi g. 3.
R e m a r k s. Pollen grains of this type are
similar to pollen of the recent Tsuga canadensis
(L.) Carr. They occur in Europe in the Oligocene
to Pliocene (Krutzsch 1971, Nagy 1985,
Planderová 1990), in Poland in Miocene deposits.
They represent arctotertiary (A) element
(Stuchlik et al. 2002). In the analysed material
they were found very rare, mainly in the
Lusatian seam.

1985 Tsugaepollenites verrucatus (Krutzsch) n. comb.,
Nagy, p. 137, pl. 67, fi gs 3, 4.
R e m a r k s. Pollen grains similar to pollen
of Tsuga, the nearest to Tsuga canadensis,
occurring in Europe in the Oligocene to Pliocene
(Krutzsch 1971, Nagy 1985, Planderová
1990, Kohlman-Adamska 1993), in Poland in
Miocene and Pliocene deposits. They represent
arctotertiary (A) element (Stuchlik et al.
2002). They were sporadically encountered in
the studied material.

Słodkowska comb. nov.; Ziembińska-
Tworzydło et al., p. 13, pl. 6, fi g. 17.
R e m a r k s. These pollen grains are similar to
pollen of the recent Tsuga diversifolia (Maxim.)
Mast., and represent warm-temperate element
(A1). They occur in the Polish Miocene and
Plio cene deposits (Ziembińska-Tworzydło et al.
1994a, b, Stuchlik et al. 2002). In the studied
material they were encountered sporadically.

1985 Tsugaepollenites maximus (Raatz) n. comb.,
Nagy, p. 135, pl. 66, fi gs 1, 2.
R e m a r k s. Pollen grains similar to polen of
the recent Tsuga. They represent warm-temperate
(A1) element (Ziembińska-Tworzydło
et al. 1994a), and occur in deposits since the
Eocene, more often in the Oligocene and Miocene
(Krutzsch 1971, Ziembińska-Tworzydło
1974, Nagy 1985, Kohlman-Adamska 1993).
They are known from the Polish Miocene and
Pliocene (Stuchlik et al. 2002). In the studied
material they were found regularly, but in
quantities not exceeding 1%.
