Trochodendron drachuckii

''Trochodendron drachukii'' is an extinct species of flowering plant in the family Trochodendraceae known from a fossil fruiting structure found in the early Ypresian age Eocene fossils found in British Columbia, Canada. ''T. drachukii'' is one of the oldest members of the genus ''Trochodendron'', which includes the living species ''T. aralioides'', native to Japan, southern Korea and Taiwan and the coeval extinct species ''T. nastae'' from Washington state, USA.〔
Description of the new species by Dr. Kathleen Pigg, Richard Dillhoff, Melanie DeVore and Wesley Wehr was based on the study of a single complete fruiting structure specimen. The holotype fossil, number "UWBM 97819", being housed in the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, Seattle, Washington.〔 They published their 2007 type description of the species in the ''International Journal of Plant Sciences'' volume number 168 and named the species ''drachuckii'' in honor of Robert Drachuck in recognition for his finding and donation of the type specimen for study.〔 The holotype was recovered from an Ypresian age unnamed formation outcropping at the McAbee Fossil Beds near Cache Creek, BC, which is designated the type locality.
''T. drachuckii'' has been placed in the genus ''Trochodendron'' based on the morphology of the fruiting structure and overall shape of the fruits.〔 The long raceme possess 23 distinguishable fruits grouped in twos and threes along the axis. Each fruit is by and composed of six fused carples.〔
''Trochodendron'' shares with ''Tetracentron'' the very unusual feature in angiosperms of lacking vessel elements in its wood. This has long been considered a very primitive character, resulting in the classification of these two genera in a basal position in the angiosperms; however, genetic research by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group has shown it to be in a less basal position (early in the eudicots), suggesting that the absence of vessel elements is a secondarily evolved character, not a primitive one.
