    The Palaeoecology Group of the Banna Botanical Garden and the Vietnam National Museum of Natural History have been working together since 2016 to carry out research on Cenozoic paleobotany in Vietnam
    .


    Nguyen Ba Hung , a Vietnamese doctoral student in the paleoecology group , has been unable to come to the Banna Botanical Garden to carry out research work during his doctoral period due to the impact of the epidemic after finishing the intensive teaching at the National University of Science and Technology


    The white flower oleifera belongs to the genus Macrocarpa , which is widely distributed in southern China today
    .


    The fossil found in northern Vietnam is not only the first definitive record of this genus in the world, but also shows the close relationship between the flora of South China and the flora of northern Vietnam in geological history, and provides a theoretical basis for the origin of tropical Asia of East Asian flora.


    The research results were officially published in the international paleobotany journal Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology under the title of First pod record of Mucuna (Papilionoideae, Fabaceae) from the late Miocene of the Yen Bai Basin, northern Vietnam .
    The research was jointly funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Basic Research Program of Yunnan Province and other funds .
