In North America, fossil Eucommia fruits have been described from Middle Eocene sediments of British Columbia, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado, Missouri, Tennessee, and Mississippi, and from possibly younger sediments at one locality in the state of Puebla in Mexico. The modern species is native only to China today. In former times it was present in the northern hemisphere forests of Asia, Europe, and North America. See this American Journal of Botany article.
