Although pre-Cretaceous angiosperms have been rejected or suspected by some palaeobotanists, their existence in the Jurassic appears increasingly promising, especially when recent palaeobotanical progress is taken into consideration. Although an herbaceous whole plant of an angiosperm has been reported from the Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation, its implication for angiosperm evolution is under-appreciated. Here, from exactly the same fossil locality, we report a fruit-bearing angiosperm, Daohugoufructus fructiferous gen. et sp. nov. The unique fruits on elongated scapes distinguish Daohugoufructus from all known gymnosperms and suggest an angiospermous affinity. With physically connected fruits, leaves and branch, Daohugoufructus sheds an otherwise unavailable light on early angiosperms and their evolution.
