Paleocene flora from Seymour Island, Antarctica: revision of Dusén’s (1908) angiosperm taxa

The Paleocene flora from Seymour Island, Antarctica, is one of the most diverse floras of this age in the Southern Hemisphere. First collected on the Swedish South Polar Expedition (1901–1903), it was described by Dusén in 1908 as having 87 leaf taxa. Forty-seven angiosperm taxa were described and/or illustrated. Many species are based on single specimens, and the flora has not been re-examined in its entirety since it was first described. This study is the first reassessment of the flora…

Temporal and spatial patterns of occurrence of the Nothofagoxylon wood type help support current views that the centre of origin of theNoth ofagaceae was within the Antarctic Peninsula–South America region during the Campanian followed by radiation into the lower southern latitudes throughout the Tertiary.

It is concluded that Nothofagus probably originated in high latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere during the middle-late Late Cretaceous and diversified, dispersed gradually to the lower latitude of the same hemisphere and leaf morphological characters are significant for the systematics of the family Noth ofagaceae.
