Langeria is an extinct genus of flowering plants in the family Platanaceae containing the solitary species Langeria magnifica. Langeria is known from fossil leaves and stipules found in the early Eocene deposits of northern Washington state, United States and similar aged formations in British Columbia, Canada.
Langeria magnifica has been identified from a series of locations ranging from the Klondike Mountain Formation near Republic, Washington north. At least three locations in British Columbia have Langeria fossils, including the Coldwater Beds Quilchena locality near Merritt, the Tranquille Formations McAbee Fossil Beds near Kamloops, and the Chu Chua Formations Joseph Creek site near Chu Chua. Generally speaking, the age for the locations is Early Eocene, with the sites that have current uranium–lead or argon–argon radiometric dates being of Ypresian age, while the undated sites and sites with less current dating being possibly slightly younger and Lutetian in age.
