Abstract
AbstractThe earliest fossil record of Juniperus L. (Cupressaceae) is reported. Juniperus pauli Z. Kvaček, sp. nova is based on foliage shoots, pollen cones, seed cones and seeds, and belongs to the multiseed series of “entire”‐leafed species of sect. Sabina. It occurs in association with the humid warm‐temperate mixed‐mesophytic forest vegetation in the volcanogenic diatomaceous shale at Roudníky and Větruše in the Palaeogene of the České středohoří Mountains, north Bohemia. The former site is radiometrically dated near the Eocene/Oligocene boundary. The relationship to extant taxa is discussed together with a review of fossil junipers.
