from the Upper Pleistocene of South China and its biogeographic and paleoecological implications.

Anatomical structure of mummified wood of (Lauraceae) from the Upper Pleistocene of Maoming, South China and the woods of 15 extant species of from China and Malaysia were examined. The fossil wood has been convincingly attributed to extant species (Hance) Hemsl. This is the first reliable fossil record of in Asia.

First reliable Miocene fossil winged fruits record of in Asia through anatomical investigation.

Fossil genera with similar features to the winged fruits of the living Lesch. ex Blume (e.g.

Glacial expansion of cold-tolerant species in low latitudes: megafossil evidence and species distribution modelling.

Fossil wood of Chinese white pine (Pinus armandii Franch.) from the Late Pleistocene deposits of Maoming Basin of South China provides the first megafossil evidence for glacial expansion of the range of a cold-tolerant species in low latitudes.

Mummified fruits of from the upper Pleistocene of South China.

L. contains approximately 78 species distributed in low to middle altitudes of the Paleotropics and northern Australia. fruit fossils are known mainly from Paleogene to Neogene of North America, Africa, and Eurasia.

Araucarioid wood from the late Oligocene-early Miocene of Hainan Island: first fossil evidence for the genus Agathis in the Northern Hemisphere.

Although many fossil and molecular data suggest migrations from Malesia and Asia to Australia appear to dominate floristic exchange between Australian and Asian rainforests, evidence is emerging that demonstrate dispersal of plant groups from Australia to Asia. In this paper, a new species Agathis ledongensis sp. nov.

Camellia nanningensis sp. nov.: the earliest fossil wood record of the genus Camellia (Theaceae) from East Asia.

A new species Camellia nanningensis was described on the basis of well-preserved mummified wood from the upper Oligocene Yongning Formation of Nanning Basin in Guangxi Province, South China. This represents the most ancient fossil wood assigned to Camellia, and the earliest fossil record of the family Theaceae in China. This fossil material shows that Camellia occurred in China as early as the late Oligocene, suggesting more ancient radiation of this genus than estimated by molecular dating.
