On a etudie l'anatomie d'un petiole fossile de palmier (Arecaceae) decouvert dans le Bassin du Rio Mannu di Ittiri (NO Sardaigne), dans des sediments d'age burdigalien. La comparaison des caract~res de l'echantillon avec ceux des taxa fossiles et actuels conduit h la conclusion qu'il appartient a une nouvelle espece, Palmocaulon logudorense
An anatomical study of a fossil palm petiole (Arecaceae) was carried out. The fossil was found in sediments of Burdigalian age in the Rio Mannu basin (Ittiri, NW Sardinia). From a comparison with both fossil and existing taxa it is concluded that the fossil palm belongs to the new species, Palmocaulon logudorense.
