Abstract: Floral haul Darwin called the origin of flowering plants — the angiosperms — an “abominable mystery“. Recent fossil discoveries, and clues from molecular genetics, are beginning to shed light on the evolutionary relationships between angiosperms and other plants. But, as Michael Frohlich and Mark Chase explain in a Review Article, some aspects of the problem seem as resolutely mysterious as they were in Darwin's day.
