Abstract
In the browncoal quarry Schleenhain near Leipzig, some wood specimens were collected from an Upper Eocene browncoal seam, One of them is des cribed here and identified as Taxodioxylon gypsaceum and compared with various descriptions of this species and with other data concerning t he Taxodiaceae. Our conclusion is that T. gypsaceum is a highly variab le polyphyletic species.
