Ferguson, D. K.:  The contribution of micromorphology to the taxonomy and fossil record of the Myricaceae. – Taxon 47: 333-335. 1998. – ISSN 0040-0262.

Micromorphological characters assist in the circumscription of the family Myricaceae and can be used to distinguish the segregate genera. The fossil record is based on leaf compressions, fruits and pollen grains. In the Tertiary the commonest genus was Myrica sensu stricto.
