“…The grape vine family, which represents one of the earliest diverging lineages of the rosids (Wang et al 2009), first occurs in the fossil record during the Upper Cretaceous of India (Paleovitis seeds Manchester et al 2013). Since then, the existence of the family is well documented throughout the Palaeogene up to today.…”

Three European lower Eocene localities comprising sediments from the Paleocene-Eocene Temperature Maximum (PETM, St Pankraz, Austria and Brixton, England) and the Early Eocene Climate Optimum (EECO, Krappfeld, Austria) have been investigated palynologically with light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The pollen taxa systematically investigated here have been affiliated to the following families and genera: Vitaceae gen. indet.

“…There have been some studies comparing seed morphological characters between Tetrastigma and other genera of Vitaceae and seed morphology is considered significant for the infrageneric classification of the genus (Chen and Manchester, 2007; Manchester et al, 2013). The taxonomic importance of seed morphology was further emphasized by Chen (2009) based on morphometric analyses of extant vitaceous seeds, including seven Tetrastigma species and highlighting the morphological diversity of Tetrastigma seeds (Supplementary Figures 1B–K).…”

Tetrastigma (Miq.) Planch. is one of the most species-rich genera of the economically and agronomically important grape family Vitaceae. It includes ca. 95 species widely distributed in the tropics and subtropics of Asia and Australia. Species of Tetrastigma exhibit great diversity in both vegetative and reproductive characters. Here we inferred a well-supported phylogeny of Tetrastigma based on ten chloroplast DNA regions with an expanded taxon sampling of 72 species and two varieties. Our molecular results support six major clades within Tetrastigma and the relationships among these clades were well-resolved. We also documented seed morphology of 44 species covering the six major clades of the genus. Ancestral states of eight characters (seed shape, seed surface rumination pattern, chalaza length/width ratio, chalaza position, ventral infold position, ventral infold divergence, ventral infold depth in cross section, and endosperm shape) were reconstructed in Mesquite and R with four models. Character optimizations suggest that all character states have evolved multiple times except that the irregular-shaped surface rumination has derived only once in Tetrastigma. We evaluated the taxonomic importance of seed morphology and identified potential morphological evidence to support each major clade. Our comprehensive analyses of Tetrastigma shed insights into the infrageneric classification of this morphologically diverse and ecologically important genus in tropical and subtropical Asia.

“…The family Vitaceae is generally well represented in the fossil record, both from reproductive and woody stem remains. Vitaceous fossil wood has been reviewed by Wheeler and LaPasha (1994), and seeds by Chen and Manchester (2007) and Manchester et al (2013). Lui et al (2016) provided a recent study of extant inflorescence and fruits, along with a phylogenetic perspective on the family.…”

Abstract:The Princeton chert is one of the most completely studied permineralized floras of the Paleogene. Remains of over 30 plant taxa have been described in detail, along with a diverse assemblage of fungi that document a variety of ecological interactions with plants. As a flora of the Okanagan Highlands, the Princeton chert plants are an assemblage of higher elevation taxa of the latest early to earliest middle Eocene, with some components similar to those in the related compression floras. However, like the well-known floras of Clarno, Appian Way, the London Clay, and Messel, the Princeton chert provides an additional dimension of internal structure. In the present study, we outline the history of Princeton chert plant research, starting with Boneham and others, and extending into studies by Stockey and her students and colleagues. These studies were undertaken primarily at the University of Alberta, Edmonton. We then re-examine the individual elements of the Princeton chert flora, using the framework of the currently recognized Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG III) phylogeny and in light of recent fossil discoveries. We hope that this update will bring to mind new aspects of the significance of the Princeton chert flora to Paleogene paleobiology, biogeography, and plant evolution.
