Abstract
⺠We report eight species of endocarps and seeds from the late Eocene of Panama. ⺠Affinities at the family level include Vitaceae, Humiriaceae, and Anacardiaceae. ⺠At the genus level we report the Old World Leea and Dracontomelon. ⺠The fossils constitute the only macro record for the Eocene in Central America. ⺠The fossils are a record of the colonizing vegetation in the emergent volcanic arc.
