Fossil newtonia (Fabaceae: Mimoseae) seeds from the early miocene (22-21 MA) mush valley in Ethiopia

International Journal of Plant Sciences, Volume 173, No. 3, Year 2012

Numerous fossil winged seeds from the early Miocene (22-21 MA) of Ethiopia represent the earliest and only definitive record of the ecologically and economically important legume genus Newtonia (Fabaceae: ''Mimoseae''). These fossils represent a new species and provide evidence that tropical moist forest persisted on the Ethiopian Plateau into the early Miocene. © 2012 by The University of Chicago.
