“…While there are no fossil pollen records for Asimina because it is zoophilous, there are records for other warm temperate, anemophilous tree species that occupy present‐day habitat similar to A. triloba . Fossil pollen of Liquidambar from ~22,000 YBP has been documented in low abundance in Louisiana and southwestern Mississippi (Jackson & Givens, 1994; Kolb & Freudlund, 1981), southeastern Alabama (Delcourt et al., 1980), the panhandle of Florida (Watts et al., 1992) and St. Catherine's Island, Georgia (Rich et al., 2015). Nyssa appears to have been more widespread, with very low abundance pollen records all along the southeastern coastal plain from Texas (Potzger & Tharp, 1947) north to the Chesapeake Bay (Willard et al., 2005), and more inland records from Tennessee (Delcourt, 1979) and Georgia (Watts, 1975).…”
