†Sloanea olmediaefolia has been described from many fossil leaves collected from lower Oligocene strata from 1857 to 1889 in Santa Giustina and Sassello in Central Liguria, Italy.[3] Fossil leaves of this species have also been collected from the continental (fluvial and limnic) beds of the Csatka Formation near Oroszlány (western Hungary, northeastern Transdanubia); these beds are from the 34 million years old Oligocene regional stage Kiscellian.[4]
