How deep is the conflict between molecular and fossil evidence on the age of angiosperms?
The timing of the origin of angiosperms is a hotly debated topic in plant evolution. Molecular

Phylogenetic analyses of Cretaceous fossils related to Chloranthaceae and their evolutionary implications
JA Doyle, PK Endress - The Botanical Review, 2018 - Springer
Chloranthaceae were one of the first common lines during the early radiation of

Evidence on vegetative and inflorescence morphology of Chloranthaceae (Angiospermae) from the Early Cretaceous (middle–late Albian) of Spain
The near-basal angiosperm family Chloranthaceae (with four living genera) is prominently
represented in the Early Cretaceous fossil record by pollen and flowers, but its leaves, other …

Leaf and inflorescence evidence for near-basal Araceae and an unexpected diversity of other monocots from the late Early Cretaceous of Spain
Phylogenetic analyses imply that monocots were a key group in the early radiation of
angiosperms, yet they are much rarer than other major clades in the Early Cretaceous …
