D e s c r i p t i o n. Follicle 2.6 mm long, 1.4 mm wide at the widest; bulbous with one end tapering to a point and the antipodal side ending with a small cylinder measuring 0.4 mm tall and 0.5 mm wide; seven parallel striations 0.1 mm wide extend longitudinally.
R e m a r k s. Longitudinal ribbing along a chimney lamp-shaped follicle is characteristic of Thalictrum . Fossil Thalictrum fruits are known from the Oligocene and Miocene of Europe ( Szafer 1961, Dorofeev 1963, Mai 1995) and the Pleistocene of Nepal ( Bhandari et al. 2009, 2010, 2011). If confirmed, this would be the oldest Thalictrium ca. 20 Ma older than estimates for crown of that genus ( Soza et al. 2013).
