Research
- A study on the morphology, identity and affinity of the purported Cretaceous pitcher plant Archaeamphora longicervia is published by Wong et al. (2015), who interpret the supposed pitchers as insect-induced leaf galls, and consider A. longicervia to be insect-galled leaves of the gymnosperm species Liaoningocladus boii.[68]
