Abstract

A summary is given on the African Miocene dicot woods.
Egypt is the second richest African country after Ethiopia in
Miocene dicot woods. Fabaceae is the largest family
regarding the number of wood species in Africa and Egypt.
Miocene dicot woods from Wadi Natrun area in Egypt were
examined and two new records: Dalbergioxylon
dicorynioides-Fabaceae and Sapindoxylon stromeri-
Sapindaceae are reported. Xylotomical features indicate that
the former was a large tree while the latter was a shrub or
small tree and that a nonseasonal tropical palaeoclimate is
suggested for the Miocene of the growth area.
