Cedrelospermum is an extinct genus of plants in the family Ulmaceae.[1] Its fossils have been found in the early Eocene to early Oligocene strata in North America, in the middle Eocene to middle Miocene strata in Europe , and in the middle Eocene of Bangor in Tibet, the late Eocene of Nyima, the late Oligocene of Shuanghu, and the late Eocene of Maguan in Yunnan in Asia.[1][2][3]
The fruits of the genus Cedrelospermum are oval to triangular, with a membranous wing on one side.[4][5] Some species have only one wing; others have two separate wings, a primary wing and a secondary wing.[5][6]
