 | | The pollen of Betulaceae and Juglandaceae, and to a lesser extent that of Fagaceae, is rather like that of the Normapolles type abundant in the Turonian-Campanian of the Cretaceous, some 94-98 mybp (Kedves 1989; Friis et al. |
| | The leaf teeth in Juglandaceae, Rhoipteleaceae and Myricaceae are intermediate in "type", having a ± splayed, (non)glandular apex, and the main tooth vein is joined by branches that leave below, or one of the branches may proceed above the tooth (Hickey and Taylor 1991). |
| | Juglandaceae are evergreen or deciduous trees that may be recognised by the small, aromatic glands on the young parts of the plant; the compound, estipulate, usually spiral leaves the leaflets of which are often serrate; and the spicate inflorescences with single, axillary flowers. |
