Steinböck nos. 18, 21, 21 a, 39.Description.Leaf simple, shortly petiolate, lower part of lamina gradually narrowing into petiole, lamina elliptic to oblanceolate, 100–180 mm long, 20–30 mm wide, base cuneate, decurrent, apex acute to elongated acute, primary venation pinnate, secondary venation brochidodromous to semicraspedodromous, secondary veins departing from primary vein at angles of 5–35 °, curved upwards close to leaf margin, intersecondary veins present, margin entire in basal part of lamina, entire or toothed in upper part, teeth with long basal and short apical side, teeth sharp to blunt.Discussion.The genus Myrica in its traditional circumscription is not monophyletic (Huguet et al. 2005). For this reason, many fossil-species of Myrica would need to be transferred to Morella (https://ifpni.org/species.htm?id= FD9F10BD-41D1-4874-B0BC-D8A0FF2237B9). As long as the fossil-species Myrica lignitum has not been formally placed in the genus Morella, we continue using the name Myrica lignitum. Myrica lignitum was a typical swamp element during the Neogene of Western Eurasia. It is one of the most abundant elements in the leaf flora of Andritz.
