內容簡介
The form the book has taken is a hybrid of what Ge Sun proposed, his guidance and help,in relation to what I could accomplish in practical terms of a short schedule and the ability toformat and organize the sections of this publication during the fall of 2005. Special thanksmust go to Professor Ge Sun for his continued help with many aspects of the organization andpublication of this book and to Terry Lott who helped with many of the practical details ofputting it all together. Thanks would be extended to Mr. Jingyi Weng, the Director of theShanghai Scientific and Technological Education Publishing House, and Prof. Yulin Bian, theExecutive Editor, and Mr. Shiliang Tang, the designer, of the book, for their kind help in edi-tion and publishing work for this book.

I grew seeds of this plant and wecleared the leaves,even the seedling leaves and alsobegan reconstructions of the fossils and diagrams ofthe living Platanus so common in Indiana.Then Istarted to grow seeds of some of the different speciesof Platanus.Julie completed a masters degree andthen transferred out of the lab.
Chuck Daghlian was an undergraduate at IndianaUniversity and he took my Introductory Botany class.I invited him to work as an hourly worker in my labon fossil leaves from the middle Eocene.I had beenencouraged to publish some major work on these fos-sils rather than just one small paper on individualtaxa as I had been doing.So I began a major projecton the monocots of the middle Eocene.We had alarge Philodendron-like leaf and also I hired Frank Potter to work for several months on thepalm fossil material.I prepared lots of living material for cuticle which involved one trip toFairchild Tropical Gardens in Miami, to cut 25 pounds of costa palmate leaves from the palmsthey had growing.Herbarium specimens of palm leaves just did not give me enough charac-ters to work with. I knew we had Sabal palms of some sort and then there were others not yetidentified. Chuck Daghlian went to graduate school in Texas to work with Ted Delevoryas andcalled me one day and asked to take over the palm project for his Ph.D. dissertation.I hadabout 1 1/2 years invested in the project, but he had found palms in Texas and needed to com-bine these with the ones from Tennessee and needed the modern reference work I had done.So I gave him all my palm research materials.Now I see there are still some loose ends thatcould be done and hope some day to get back to this as palms are great plants and their evo-lution and distribution are very interesting.
