Ticodendron incognitum is a unique species of tree and the only member of the Ticodendraceae family. It is closely related to the Betulaceae family and was discovered in 1989 in Costa Rica. Its habitat in cloud forests and unremarkable appearance had previously caused it to be overlooked. However, further research has revealed that it can also be found in southern Mexico and Central America. This tree can grow up to 20-30 meters tall and has simple, serrated leaves. It is typically dioecious, with separate male and female plants. Fossil records of Ticodendron have been found in Oregon and southern England, dating back to the Middle and Early Eocene periods, respectively. These fossils closely resemble the fruits of the modern Ticodendron species.
