Cones and consequences: the false dichotomy of conifers vs broad-leaves has critical implications for research and modelling. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary In plant science research and modelling, particularly from the northern hemisphere, the terms ‘needle‐leaved’ and ‘conifer’ along with ‘broad‐leaved’ and ‘angiosperm’ are often used synonymously, creating the false dichotomy that conifers are needle‐leaved and angiosperms are broad‐leaved.

Complete Chloroplast Genome of the Wollemi Pine (Wollemia nobilis): Structure and Evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis) is a rare Southern conifer with striking morphological similarity to fossil pines. A small population of W. nobilis was discovered in 1994 in a remote canyon system in the Wollemi National Park (near Sydney, Australia).

Species-level determination of closely related araucarian resins using FTIR spectroscopy and its implications for the provenance of New Zealand amber [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Some higher plants, both angiosperms and gymnosperms, can produce resins and some of these resins can polymerize and fossilize to form ambers. Various physical and chemical techniques have been used to identify and profile different plant resins and have

Revealing the diversity of amber source plants from the Early Cretaceous Crato Formation, Brazil
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Amber has been reported from the Early Cretaceous Crato Formation, as isolated clasts or within plant tissues. Undescribed cones of uncertain gymnosperm affinity have also been recovered with amber preserved in situ.
