Actinidia oregonensis

''Actinidia oregonensis'' is an extinct species of flowering plant in the kiwi family, Actinidiaceae, solely known from the middle Eocene sediments exposed in north central Oregon.〔 The species was first described from a series of isolated fossil seeds in chert.〔
==History and classification==
''Actinidia oregonensis'' has been identified from a single location in the Clarno Formation, the Clarno nut beds, type locality for both the formation and the species. The nut beds are approximately east of the unincorporated community of Clarno, Oregon, and considered to be middle Eocene in age, based on averaging zircon fission track radiometric dating which yielded an age of 43.6 and 43.7 ± 10 million years ago and argon–argon dating radiometric dating which yielded a 36.38 ± 1.31 to 46.8 ± 3.36 Mya date.〔 The average of the dates resulted in an age range of 45 to 43 Mya. The beds are composed of silica and calcium carbonate cemented tuffaceous sandstones, siltstones, and conglomerates which preserve either a lake delta environment, or alternatively periodic floods and volcanic mudflows preserved with hot spring activity.〔
The species was described from a series of type specimens, the holotype specimen UF 6292, and a group of five paratypes which are preserved in the paleobotanical collections of the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. An additional paratype, USNM 355370, is in the National Museum of Natural History collections in Washington, D.C. The fossils were part of a group of approximately 20,000 specimens collected from 1942 to 1989 by Thomas Bones, A. W. Hancock, R. A. Scott, Steven R. Manchester, and a number of high school students.〔
The ''Actinidia oregonensis'' specimens were studied by paleobotanist Steven R. Manchester of the University of Florida. He published his 1994 type description for ''A. oregonensis'' in the journal ''Palaeontographica Americana''.〔 The specific epithet ''oregonensis'' was chosen in recognition of the state of Oregon where the fossils were found.〔 ''Actinidia oregonensis'' was the first ''Actinidia'' species to be named from North America.〔
