Superrosid research

• Ali et al. (2025) describe a gland-bearing petal of cf. Mcvaughia sp. from the Eocene Palana Formation (India), interpreted as possible evidence that members of the lineage of the studied plant already had volatile glands used to attract pollinators (possibly anthophorid bees) in the early Eocene. ^[93]
• Hazra & Khan (2025) report the discovery of a diverse assemblage of legume fruits and leaflet remains from the Rajdanda Formation (India), interpreted as evidence of the presence of a warm and humid tropical environment during the Pliocene. ^[94]
• A study on the anatomy of wood of extant members of the genus Ficus and fossil wood with affinities to Ficus, and on its implications for determination of the organs preserved as fossil wood and their habits, is published by Monje Dussán, Pederneiras & Angyalossy (2025). ^[95]
• Hamersma et al. (2025) revise Sahnianthus parijai from the Deccan Intertrappean Beds, interpret it as a member or a relative of the family Lythraceae, and identify Chitaleypushpam mohgaonense, Deccananthus savitrii, Raoanthus intertrappea, Flosfemina intertrappea, Flosvirulis deccanensis, Menispermaceopushpam amanganjii, Liliaceopushpam deccanii, Lythraceopushpam mohgaoense and Surangepushpam deccanii as junior synonyms of S. parijai. ^[96]

General angiosperm research

• A study on the timing of the evolution of the flowering plants is published by Ma et al. (2025), who recover the crown group of the flowering plants as likely originating in the Triassic. ^[101]
• Clark & Donoghue (2025) study the impact of interpretations of the plant fossil record on molecular clock estimates of the timing of origin of the flowering plants, and estimate that the crown group of the flowering plants diverged in the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous interval. ^[102]
• Ding et al. (2025) review fossil and molecular evidence of origin and development of floras dominated by flowering plants, and identify five major phases of the studied process. ^[103]
• Mendes et al. (2025) study the ultrastructure of pollen of Saportanthus , interpret the studied angiosperm as the sister taxon of monocots, and support placement of Jamesrosea and Lovellea within Laurales. ^[104]
• Doughty et al. (2025) use a mechanistic model to study the relationship between seed size of flowering plants, their light environment and the size of animals in their environment, and predict a rapid increase of seed size during the Paleocene that eventually plateaued or declined, likely as a result of the appearance of large herbivores that opened the understory, reducing the competitive advantage of plants with large seeds. ^[105]
• Cham et al. (2025) develop a method for reconstructing the rate of carbon assimilation in leaves, and apply it to Miocene flowering plants from the Clarkia fossil beds (Idaho, United States). ^[106]
• Evidence from the study of leaves of extant trees from the Nantahala National Forest (North Carolina, United States), indicative of utility of analyses of leaf traits for reconstructions of successional dynamics of fossil plants, is presented by Lowe et al. (2025). ^[107]
