abstract
  • Archaeamphora is an extinct species of pitcher plant bearing close affinities to extant members of the family Sarraceniaceae. Fossil material assigned to this taxon originates from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation in northeastern China. A. longicervia is the earliest known carnivorous plant and represents the only fossil record of pitcher plants. Furthermore, the monotypic Archaeamphora is one of the three oldest known genera of angiosperms (flowering plants). Li (2005) notes that "the existence of a so highly derived Angiosperm in the Early Cretaceous suggests that Angiosperms should have originated much earlier, maybe back to 280 mya as the molecular clock studies suggested".
