Cover Illustration: Menispermites cordatus, a new fossil leaf species from the middle–late Paleocene (ca. 60-58 Mya) of the Cerrejón paleoflora, northern Colombia. Leaf morphology and venation patterns are remarkably similar to those of the modern lianas of Menispermaceae. The presence of climbing plants and tall canopy trees in the Cerrejón Paleocene forest suggests that multistratification of Neotropical rain forests is an ancient feature. See Jaramillo et al.—Menispermaceae from the Cerrejón Formation, middle to late Paleocene, Colombia, pp 954–973 in this issue. Photo credit: Fabiany Herrera and Scott Wing.
