The Altingiaceae shows a disjunct distribution in the Northern Hemisphere with Liquidambar from the temperate zone, and Altingia and Semiliquidambar in the tropical and subtropical regions.
Our study shows that many of the modern features of extant Altingiaceae were present in fossils from North America and Europe by the Miocene.
By using anatomically preserved fossil reproductive remains, we have the opportunity to independently test hypotheses of phylogeny and biogeography that have been previously supported by isozyme and molecular studies.

Cercidiphyllaceae + Daphniphyllaceae + Hamamelidaceae + Altingiaceae: cuticle waxes as tubules, nonacosan-10-ol the main wax; valvate anthers with protruding connectives, but there is little evidence that they form a monophyletic group.
Altingiaceae are monoecious, deciduous trees that may be recognised by their spirally-arranged, usually palmately-lobed leaves with petiolar stipules and by their capitate inflorescences.
(2001) present a molecular phylogeny of Altingiaceae, and this suggests that there is only one genus, in contrast to a morphological phylogeny (Ickert-Bond et al.

The assignment of Altingiaceae, Cercidiphyllaceae, Daphniphyllaceae and Hamamelidaceae to the Saxifragales (Rosiidae) is curious although all of these seem to hold together.
In addition to the Trochodendrales (including both Trochodendraceae and Tetracentraceae), he also moves Altingiaceae and Rhodoleiaceae (both included in the Hamamelidaceae by Cronquist) to the Trochodendranae under a newly proposed order Altingiales.
Rhodoleiaceae (monogeneric) and Altingiaceae (2 genera) are now assigned to the Altingiales and placed in the Trochodendranae at the base of the Dilleniidae.

Currently, I continue to study the plant family Altingiaceae, or sweet gums, in collaboration with Associate Curator of Botany, Dr.
In spite of the biogeographic importance of the group, the largest genus of the family, Altingia, is taxonomically poorly known.
Secondly, based on the analyses of molecular sequence data we will test whether Altingiaceae diversified first in temperate regions and later migrated into tropical areas, and whether the lack of morphological difference in some taxa is due to morphological stasis.
