Abstract

Upper Badenian flora, dominantly of coastal habitats: Fagaceae, Salicaceae, Myrica and Cedrela, from Lešće near Belgrade, is described. The flora of Lešće is a new fixed flora whose age has been established on microfauna found in beds with fossil plants The difference from other Middle Miocene floras in Yugoslavia is more a result of local paleoecological conditions and lacking transport of plant remains into a depositional environment than any significant change in climatic or composition of zonal vegetation.
