Distylium (Winter-hazel) is a genus of about 18 species of evergreen shrubs and trees in the witch hazel family Hamamelidaceae, native to eastern and southeastern Asia.

Fossil record

Among the middle Miocene Sarmatian palynoflora from the Lavanttal Basin Austria researchers have recognized Distylium fossil pollen. The sediment containing the Distylium fossil pollen had accumulated in a lowland wetland environment with various vegetation units of mixed evergreen/deciduous broadleaved/conifer forests surrounding the wetland basin. Key relatives of the fossil taxa found with Distylium are presently confined to humid warm temperate environments, suggesting a subtropical clima during the middle Miocene in Austria.[1]
