A series of fossil genera have been described from the Northern Hemisphere dating between the Early Eocene, and gradually becoming confined to East Asia during the Pleistocene ice ages. The fossil record is dominated by morphotaxa based on plant material, with isolated fruit, foliage, leaves, pollen, and woods in segregate mophogenera.
