  abstract = {{A}mborella trichopoda ({A}mborellaceae) is a shrub endemic to {N}ew {C}aledonia in the {S}outhwest {P}acific region. {T}his plant suddenly became famous when molecular phylogenetic studies revealed that this sole species is likely the sister taxon to all other angiosperms. {I}t has thus been a prime research model for reconstructing plant evolution and gaining insight into what the earliest angiosperms looked like. {A} wealth of studies on {A}mborella have now shed considerable light on its genome, morphology, anatomy, physiology, development, and architecture - this research is reviewed in this article. {W}hile {A}mborella likely retained some ancestral traits, critical character reconstructions have also highlighted some derived and sometimes unique characters in this species. {T}he history of {A}mborella is also tied to the {S}outh {P}acific archipelago of {N}ew {C}aledonia, its homeland. {I}t was part of the {N}ew {C}aledonian biogeography puzzle and its genetic history shed light on the dynamics of its ecosystem, the rainforest understorey. {A}mborella is now cultivated in botanical gardens and has been the focus of some conservation measures that will also benefit other species in this biodiversity hotspot.},
