- BSA Plant Images Online - Miocene winged fruits of Loxopterygium (Anacardiaceae)
- Winged fruits of modern and fossil Loxopterygium. Two modern species (top row) from seasonally dry tropical forests in South America are distinguished in fruit by the length of the pedicel. A new fossil species of Loxopterygium fruit from Miocene inter-Andean basins of Ecuador is morphologically similar to both modern species.
