Abstract
Three taxa of fossil leaves are described from Miocene sediments of the Manuherikia group, Central Otago, New Zealand. One is identical to the extant New Zealand Ripogonum scandens (Smilacaceae), with which it is identified. The second has leaves larger than, but otherwise similar to, the extant New Zealand Muehlenbeckia australis (Polygonaceae). The third is described with affinities to Sloanea or Elaeocarpus (Elaeocarpaceae). It is distinct from extant New Zealand members of Elaeocarpaceae.
