This type of fossil fruit with persistent corolla was originally referred to the genus Porana BURM. ( Convolvulaceae ) as Porana oehningensis HEER. In a recent revision of this extinct genus Teodoridis and Kvaček (2005) reinterpreted floral morphology, the apocarpous superior gynoecium, the floral disc and oil cells in the petals, and suggested affinities to the Rutales, namely the Simaroubaceae or Rutaceae . The newly recognized species described below differs from the previously described Eurasian representatives of this extinct genus by narrow delicate petals.
