Today we are used to seeing roses, tulips, etc., but the first florida plant remains a mystery for many scientists. A new fossil discovered in northeastern China can help clarify it. This research has been published in the journal Nature.

The plant of Archaefructus liaoningensis, appeared in China, dates from about 127 million years ago, has three-lobed leaves and by other morphological characteristics resembles the urrebuttal.
