• Resumen

  • This study is aimed at rendering in a more precise form the so far collected data about representatives of the family Araliaceae in the Bulgarian fossil macroflora, and to compare them with the latest findings in Europe and SW Asia. Fossil finds in Bulgaria identified so far as Dewalquea fraxinifolia are revised. They were referred to the species Platanus fraxinifolia in line with the contemporary researches into the fossil representatives of genus Platanus. Attention is paid to a new find of a fossil species from genus Brassaiopsis in Armenia and revision is suggested of this species status. On the basis of published data and fossil material from IBER paleobotanical collection, a new combination Brassaiopsis digitata comb. n. is presented, as well as a new fossil taxon Brassaiopsis aff. hispida.
