“…Kirchh. from Europe are also affiliated with Nyssa sylvatica, in contrast to Paleogene Palaeonyssa and Protonyssa, both erected by Reid and Chandler, that have been associated with Nyssa sinensis Oliv., and the same is true for Eocene Nyssa pollen from Europe and China (Hofmann et al 2019).…”

Preliminary results of the palynoflora from the Schaßbach clay pit comprise accessorial floral elements of three Cornales and five Ericales pollen taxa that have modern living equivalents from different continents. The eight taxa are relatively rare in the palynological assemblages and are affiliated with the genera Nyssa, Mastixia, Erica, Vitellariopsis, Rehderodendron and Polyspora. Nyssa sp. resembles closely the deciduous Nyssa sylvatica of temperate America, the two Erica spp. resemble the south European tree heathers Erica arborea and Erica lusitanica, and Vitellariopsis sp. looks like evergreen Vitellariopsis marginata from subtropical southern Africa. The living equivalents of Mastixia spp., Rehderodendron sp. and Polyspora sp. are evergreen taxa from subtropical and tropical Asia.

“…As in extant forests, Fagaceae were important in Cenozoic palaeoecosystems of the N hemisphere. Extant genera of the Fagaceae mainly diversified during the Eocene, as shown for the genera Fagus (Manchester & Dillhoff 2004;Denk & Grimm 2009;Hofmann & al. 2019), Quercus and Castanopsis (Mai 1976;Manchester 1994;Grímsson & al.…”

Co‐evolutionary relationships of plants and fungi are of great importance for the phylogeny of both groups. Nyssa was widely distributed in the northern hemisphere during the Cenozoic. Extant species of Nyssa exhibit a disjunct distribution between eastern North America, Central America and East Asia. Here, a new species, Nyssa nanningensis Xu & Jin, is described based on fruit endocarps from the upper Oligocene Yongning Formation of the Nanning Basin, South China. This new fossil record of Nyssa expands the known palaeogeographical distribution of the genus to the low latitudes of East Asia. Associated fossil fungal fruiting bodies on Nyssa endocarps are assigned to the new fossil genus and species, Yongnicta nyssae Tobias & Maslova. This new genus is similar to some members of extant wood destructor taxa Coronophorales and Amphisphaeriales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota). About 3% of the Nyssa endocarps studied were affected by Yongnicta nyssae. Low frequency of fruit damage indicates that endocarps could be released from mesocarps by animals eating fleshy parts of fruits, making them potentially available to wood‐destroying fungi.
