Ancient Rhamnaceae flowers impute an origin for flowering plants exceeding 250-million-years ago
Summary: Setting the molecular clock to newly described 100-million-year-old flowering shoots of Phylica in Burmese amber enabled us to recalibrate the phylogenetic history of Rhamnaceae. We traced its origin to ∼260 million years ago (Ma) that can explain its migration within and beyond Gondwana si...
