Decodon tiffneyi is the second oldest known fossil occurrence of the Lythraceae, after the recent discovery of Lythrum/ Peplis pollen in the early Campanian (82-81 Ma) Eagle Formation of northwestern Wyoming, USA (Grimsson et al., 2011; see Lythrum).

The relationship of Lythrum to Peplis is somewhat unsettled.

In all of his works, when writing about his own use of the vernacular, English becomes the ungendered (and thus implicitly "universally" masculine) "comoun peplis langage."(31) When writing about "tho unsavery bokis" read by "foolish and presumptious soortis of peple," however, Pecock labels English as the "modiris langage," rendering it at best an immature "baby's" language and at worst the transgressively feminized language of religious error.(32) In the Reule, Pecock concedes that a section on the Trinity may be omitted if it proves too difficult, and therefore too dangerous, for the laity:

be not to be leernyd of lay men in her modir langage, y wole al redy suffre and obeie that thilke porcioun be left out of this book whanne this book is to be writun in the comoun peplis langage.
