Platycaryeae is a tribe of flowering plants in the family Juglandaceae, and comprising a single living genus Platycarya.[1] The tribe is now native to eastern Asia in China, Korea, and Japan.[2][3]

A series of fossil genera have been described from the Northern Hemisphere dating between the Early Eocene,[4] and gradually becoming confined to East Asia during the Pleistocene ice ages.[5][6] The fossil record is dominated by morphotaxa based on plant material, with isolated fruit, foliage, leaves, pollen, and woods in segregate mophogenera.
