Palaeoaldrovanda
''Palaeoaldrovanda splendens'' is a form taxon of uncertain identity.
It was for a long time thought to be an extinct angiosperm allied to the carnivorous plant genus ''Aldrovanda''.〔Degreef, J.D. 1997. ''Carnivorous Plant Newsletter'' 26(3): 93–97.〕 Anderson ''et al.'' (2005) wrote: "synapomorphic characters that link the fossils seeds (''P. splendens'' ) to extant ''Aldrovanda'' include hard testa with an outer epidermis of palisade cells and with a smooth, strongly reflecting surface, short micropylar neck, and extruding, pointed chalazal area".〔Anderson, C.L., K. Bremer & E.M. Friis 2005. ''American Journal of Botany'' 92(10): 1737–1748.〕
However, research published by Heřmanová & Kvaček (2010) has cast doubt on this hypothesis. These authors identified the fossilised remains of ''Palaeoaldrovanda'' as insect eggs, writing:〔Heřmanová, Z. & J. Kvaček 2010. (Late Cretaceous ''Palaeoaldrovanda'', not seeds of a carnivorous plant, but eggs of an insect ). ''Journal of the National Museum'' (Prague), Natural History Series, 179(9): 105–118.〕〔Schlauer, J. 2012. Literature reviews. ''Carnivorous Plant Newsletter'' 41(3): 121.〕
''Palaeoaldrovanda'' is not a seed with a basic anatropical and bitegmic organisation; there is no evidence of a raphe, and the wall structure is simple. ''Palaeoaldrovanda'' does not show a clearly pronounced micropyle or chalaza. () Our new interpretation of ''Palaeoaldrovanda'' significantly influences the current view of the family Droseraceae. It is at least possible that this family did not evolve until the Tertiary. It may also influence the hypotheses of the first unequivocal appearance of carnivorous plants in general.
''Palaeoaldrovanda'' is only known from fossils of the late Turonian–Santonian Klikov beds of the Czech Republic.〔Knobloch, E. & D.H. Mai 1984. Neue Gattungen nach Früchten and Samen aus dem Cenoman bis Maastricht (Kreide) von Mitteleuropa. ''Feddes Repert. (Berlin)'' 95: 3-41.〕〔Knobloch, E. & D.H. Mai 1986. Monographie der Früchte und Samen in der Kreide von Mitteleuropa. ''Rozpravy ústredního ústavu geologickénho Praha'' 47: 1–219.〕〔 These fossils represent the second oldest reported remains of a carnivorous plant, after ''Archaeamphora longicervia'', which was described as a pitcher plant from the Early Cretaceous〔Li, H. 2005. ''Acta Botanica Gallica'' 152(2): 227–234.〕 (though its identity has also been questioned).〔〔McPherson, S., A. Wistuba, A. Fleischmann & J. Nerz 2011. ''Sarraceniaceae of South America''.
