Trochodendroides is an extinct genus of flowering plants known only from fossil leaves, related to the katsura family (Cercidiphyllaceae). No living plants are grown from it, so the care fields below are not applicable.
Trochodendroides is an extinct genus of flowering plants belonging to the Cercidiphyllaceae (sometimes called the katsura family). Fossils have been widely recovered from Cretaceous to Paleogene deposits across the Northern Hemisphere, especially in northeastern Russia and parts of North America. It was once thought to be a member of the family known as Trochodendraceae.
Fossils of Trochodendroides are known from North America, Europe, and Asia. In Canada, they have been found in the provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. In the USA, fossils have been discovered in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. In the Old World, fossil remains have been identified in China, Mongolia, Russia, and the UK. The most recent known fossils come from Jilin in China.
