Dendropanax ubensis

Dendropanax is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae, consisting of 92 species of evergreen trees and shrubs, first described by Joseph Decaisne & Jules Émile Planchon in 1854. They are native to Central and South America, eastern Asia and the Malay Peninsula. Species such as Dendropanax trifidus or "kakuremino" in Japanese, are used in roji gardens, traditional moist and mossy areas leading to the chashitsu for tea ceremonies.

Time the record covers

At most 23 million years on record.

The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 56 Mya and 33.9 Mya, which is a dating window rather than a span.

1 occurrence of Dendropanax ubensis on record, most of them in the Eocene. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.

When

1 occurrences

These are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.
