“…It appeared as sister to Paracryphia Baker f. (and this clade sister to Dipsacales) in the studies by Bremer et al (2002Bremer et al ( , 2004. This topology has not changed and is strongly supported in studies with larger data sets (Winkworth et al 2008;Tank and Donoghue 2010).…”

Flowers of extant Quintinia are described in detail on the basis of field observations and serial microtome sections and compared with flowers of the Late Cretaceous Silvianthemum suecicum and Bertilanthus scanicus on the basis of new analyses of the fossil material. The analyses of both extant and fossil material also include synchrotron-based X-ray tomographic microscopy. The study shows that Quintinia and Silvianthemum/Bertilanthus have more features in common than previously recognized and strongly reinforces their earlier assumed close relationships. Among important characters linking the three genera are similar secretory hairs on the floral surface and pedicel; short sepals; free, quincuncial petals; broad anthers with small pollen sacs; 4-aperturate pollen (in Silvianthemum and Quintinia); postgenital union of the 3-4 apocarpous styles (in Silvianthemum and Quintinia); connection of the apocarpous carpel parts with the floral base; downward tapering ovary and locule(s); placentation on incomplete septa; and flask-shaped epidermal cells with a thin and long papilla on the carpels. Features observed in Quintinia, particularly the presence of bitegmic ovules and free petals, suggest that the apparent phylogenetic position with extant Paracryphiales (campanulids) needs further analysis. Bitegmic ovules are not known from other Paracryphiales or campanulids, and the presence of free petals is unusual in campanulids.

“…Ericales (APG 2003), for example, form a well-supported clade (Bremer et al 2002) and are morphologically heterogeneous; their members have been placed in 11 different angiosperm orders (Cronquist 1981), and they are similarly species rich (∼11,000 species; see Stevens 2003 andThorne 2002 figure A1. Exact placement of fossil constraints are shown in figure A1 using the same numbered references.…”

“…The Gondwanian origins of the two tribes, however, were postulated by some authors because most basal extant taxa of Solanaceae occur in the southern hemisphere (Hoare and Knapp, 1997;Symon, 1991;Tu et al, 2005;Ungricht et al, 1998). Based on the molecular phylogeny of Solanaceae and Solanales (Bremer et al, 2002;Olmstead et al, 2008;Stefanovic et al, 2002) and their overall distributions, Olmstead et al (2008) suggested the New World as the most likely place of origin for the family with eight to nine minimum dispersal events into the Old World, which include the dispersals of Mandragoreae and Hyoscyameae.…”
