The present contribution provides a first preliminary overview on flowers and inflorescences which have been discovered in the late Oligocene Fossil-Lagerstatte Enspel. These findings have so far been neglected in palaeobotanical studies on this locality, but several morphologically different types of flowers and inflorescences can be distinguished. Most of these have not yet been determined. The excellent morphological preservation of many of the flowers demonstrates that further careful investigations of these remains may provide important additional information about the diversity of this important palaeoflora and its palaeoenvironment.
