Abstract
Hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) are a main lineage of land plants but they are exceedingly rare as fossils. The only fossil hornwort described from amber has been interpreted as the best preserved fossil of this group. Reinvestigation of this fossil revealed that this Miocene amber inclusion represents a poorly preserved flower that shows some features of the Caesalpinioideae subfamily of the Fabaceae.
