摘要
A hornwort is reported from Dominican amber (Eocene-Oligocene). The specimen shows the horn-like sporophytes typical for this group of plants and can be placed into the Dendrocerotaceae, although an exact placement in Dendroceros or Megaceros cannot be made, it is the first record of a fossil hornwort.
