Florissantia is an extinct genus of flowering plants in the mallow family (Malvaceae), known only from fossils in western North America and parts of Asia, dating from the Early Eocene to the Early Oligocene. There are no living plants to grow, so there is no care guidance to give.
Florissantia is an extinct genus of flowering plants in the Malvaceae subfamily Sterculioideae known from western North America and far eastern Asia. Flower, fruit, and pollen compression fossils have been found in formations ranging from the Early Eocene through to the Early Oligocene periods. The type species is Florissantia speirii and three additional species are known, Florissantia ashwillii, Florissantia quilchenensis, and Florissantia sikhote-alinensis.
Fossils of Florissantia have been found in Early Eocene to Middle Oligocene localities, including North American fossil beds in Alaska, British Columbia, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming. Additionally, two occurrences have been reported from southern and eastern Asia in Rajasthan, India and coastal Russian far east.
