Ekrixanthera hispaniolae is a species of extinct plant first described from fossilised flowers from Dominican amber.
Additionally, the latter characters added to the pentamerous flowers separate the two fossil species from extant genera.
Its floral structures indicate an explosive manner of pollen release as well as anemophily.
[2] The name first appeared in a publication in 2016, but was not validly published under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants.
[3] As of April 2024[update], the correction was not accepted by the International Fossil Plant Names Index,[1] as the publication of the genus name gave two type species.
