“…In addition, all Asian species flower in early spring, whereas North American species bloom in late spring (Valder, ). Nevertheless, Stritch's taxonomic treatment has not been generally accepted (Valder, ; Wang et al, ; Trusty et al, ). Our phylogenetic analyses indicated that Asian and North American species formed sister clades with strong support (bs = 100%, BI = 1, Figs.…”

“…A majority of the disjunct lineages studied seemed to form the disjunction during the Miocene (Wen, ; Xiang et al, ; Milne & Abbott, ; Donoghue & Smith, ). Wisteria fossils have been found in the Neogene flora of Asia and Europe, but not in North America (Wang et al, ), suggesting that the North American species may have been derived from ancestral populations in Eurasia, adding another example of the “out of Asia” migration (Donoghue & Smith, ). However, the ITS sequences suggested that eastern North American and eastern Asian species of Wisteria formed sister clades (Hu et al, ), indicating that their ancestral populations might be widespread.…”

Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of Fabaceae indicated that species of Wisteria, an intercontinental disjunct genus between eastern Asia and eastern North America, formed a clade derived from within Callerya. However, interspecific relationships were not well resolved or supported. In this study, we used sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer region and the chloroplast gene matK to examine interspecific relationships and explore implications of the phylogeny for the systematics and biogeography of Wisteria. Our results showed that Wisteria with deciduous leaves and racemose inflorescences formed a strongly supported clade derived from within the paraphyletic Callerya. Afgekia was also found to be included within Callerya. Therefore, our data support the merger of Afgekia, Callerya, and Wisteria. The phylogenetic pattern suggested that the deciduousness in Wisteria may be a derived trait likely in response to temperate climate, and the racemose inflorescences in the Afgekia–Callerya–Wisteria clade may have evolved from panicles. Our study also provided strong support for the sister relationship of the North American and eastern Asian species of Wisteria. In the Asian clade, Wisteria brachybotrys Siebold & Zucc. of Japan was sister to the clade containing W. floribunda (Willd.) DC of Japan and Korea, and W. sinensis (Sims) Sweet of China. However, our data offered weak support for the sister relationship of W. floribunda and W. sinensis. Our divergence time and biogeographic analyses suggested that the eastern Asian–North American disjunction in Wisteria may have occurred through a dispersal event in the middle Miocene (13.4 Mya) from the Old World to the New World across the Bering land bridge followed by vicariance in the late Miocene (6.8 Mya). This study added another example to the “out of Asia” migration for the eastern Asian–eastern North American disjunction.

“…Prior to this study, the existence of stem-twining plants at Shanwang has been inferred by leaf or/and fruit fossils that were classified into living vine or liana genera such as Wisteria Nutt., Pueraria DC., and Lonicera L. [17,[19][20][21]24,25]. In this study, we provide the first direct macrofossil evidence for a stem-twining habit in plants.…”

Twining stems of plants are very common in extant tropical and subtropical forests, and the climbing growth habit of plants may be an evolutionary innovation and ecological adaptation to either closed, shady or open, edge environments. However, the origin of handedness in climbing plants remains unclear. Here we report a Miocene (ca. 16 million years ago) macrofossil from the Shanwang Formation of Shandong Province, Eastern China, unequivocally exhibiting the first direct fossil evidence for a left-handed, stem-twining growth habit in plants. This fossil plant bears a thicker, slightly curved supporting stem (2 -3.5 mm wide), which is loosely, spirally twined by a thinner stem (1.5 -2 mm wide), possibly representing part of distal branches from a liana or vine.
