“…Previously Fuchsia L. tDiporites aspis Pocknall & Mildenhall, 1984) and Epilobium L. (Corsinipollenites epilobioides Krutzsch, 1968) have been reported from the Oligocene of New Zealand (Pocknall 1982b). The affinity of both fossil taxa with Fuchsia and Epilobiurn has been confirmed by SEM and thin section observations by Daghlian et al (1984).…”

Spore-pollen assemblages from Waikato Coal Measures in the Kawhia-Raglan region, North Island, indicate that the coal measures, which rest on basement, are time transgressive and young to the southwest. The climate was predominantly cool to warm temperate, in accord with other climatic reconstructions for the Late Eocene-Late Oligocene period elsewhere in New Zealand, with brassi beech being the dominant component in the forests of the region. One new genus, Gemmapollis, is erected to accommodate tricolporate pollen with thickened colpi margins and gemmate/verrucate surface sculpture. Five new species are described. These are Monosulcites subverrucatus, Gemmapollis raglanensis, Rhoipites aequatorius, R. karamuensis, and Sparsipollis acuminatus. One species, Polypodiaceoisporites papuanus (Khan), has been recombined, a revised description is given for Nothofagidites waipawaensis (Couper), and a new name is proposed for Rhoipites pilatus (Couper). The following taxa are recorded and/or illustrated from New Zealand for the first time-Polypodiaceoisporites papuanus (Khan), Tricolpites discus Harris, Cupanieidites reticularis Cookson & Pike, Santalumidites cainozoicus Cookson & Pike, and Corsinipollenites oculus noctis (Thiergart).

“…They are similar in basic structure, and in fine points of detail, such as the presence of viscin threads on one face of the grains; they differ in having pore structures that, while still prominent, are less protuberant than in described species. Pollen types assigned to Corsinipollenites have been reported from Australia (Foster 1982, Tulip et al 1982, Macphail 1999 and New Zealand (Daghlian et al 1984, Mildenhall & Pocknall 1989.…”

Late Miocene vegetation and palaeoenvironments of the Drygalski Formation, Heard Island, Indian Ocean: evidence from palynology

et al. 2005

Well sorted, fine lithic sandstone within the Drygalski Formation at Cape Lockyer on the southern tip of Heard Island, preserves a diverse terrestrial palynoflora as well as marine diatoms and a few foraminifera. A combination of these elements suggests a Late Miocene age (10–5 Ma). The palaeovegetation was markedly different from that presently on the island, and appears to comprise at least two ecologically distinct communities: open heath or herbfield dominated by grasses and Asteraceae, and a more mesophytic community dominated by ferns but also including lycopods and angiosperms such as Gunnera. This may have represented a coastal flora similar to the ‘fern-bush’ community that exists now on Southern Ocean islands north of the Antarctic Polar Frontal Zone, and in Tierra del Fuego; however, there is no evidence of tree species in the local flora and trace amounts of tree pollen present may have blown in from other landmasses in the region.

“…The first fossil records of Epilobium pollen in New Zealand are probably dated by the (late?) Oligocene (Daghlian et al, 1984;Martin, 2003) though Mildenhall (1980) records the definite presence of Epilobium pollen from the Pliocene and that of Fuchsia from the upper Oligocene. The migration routes of Epilobium to New Zealand and biogeographic affinities of native New Zealand taxa of the genus remain debatable, with possibilities of both Eurasian relationships (Raven, 1988) and, for some taxa, hypothetic migrations from/to South America, either due to long-distance dispersal events or via the ancient Antarctic route.…”

Thirteen historical specimens (including original material, mainly syntypes and isolectotypes) of Allan and Richard Cunningham's taxa of Epilobium and Fuchsia (Onagraceae) from New Zealand recently discovered in the Turczaninow Herbarium (KW-TURCZ) at the National Herbarium of Ukraine (KW) are discussed in comparison with digital images of and data on other relevant specimens from several other herbaria, such as K, BM, WELT, etc. These specimens, collected in New Zealand by Allan Cunningham in 1826 and 1838 and by Richard Cunningham in 1833-1834, represent the following taxa (as outlined by A.
