Serialis parva is very similar to Serialis antiqua in organization and seed coat structure, but the fruits are smaller and there are only one or two seeds per fruit ( Text-fig. 24c–e ). The seed coat is mesotestal-endotestal with surface of mesotesta characterized by a jigsaw puzzle shaped pattern from the strongly undulate anticlinal walls of the mesotestal cells ( Text-fig. 24d ). A f f i n i t y a n d o t h e r o c c u r r e n c e s. Serialis parva is common in the Torres Vedras mesofossil flora. It also occurs at the Buarcos locality where it is rare ( Friis et al. 2019a ). Like other species of Serialis , the relationship of S. parva is with Magnoliales , but the character combination seen in the fossils is unknown in any extant family of the order ( Friis et al. 2019a ).
