In the originally published version of this article a mistake was made in the first sentence of the discussion section on page 5. This sentence should read: ‘Most widespread extant basal angiosperms appeared limited in their latitudinal distribution by temperature and precipitation: areas with mean annual temperature below –3 °C and annual rainfall below 700 mm are never occupied’ and not ‘700 m are never occupied’. This has now been corrected.
