A series of fossil genera have been described from the Northern Hemisphere dating between the Early Eocene,^[4] and gradually becoming confined to East Asia during the Pleistocene ice ages.^[5][6] The fossil record is dominated by morphotaxa based on plant material, with isolated fruit, foliage, leaves, pollen, and woods in segregate mophogenera.
