"Laurels were the most widespread and diverse group of flowering plants in the Late Cretaceous, their leaf shapes are equally diverse. With their giant size and complex lobed shapes, the stout shrub Bisonia was among the most intricate of all."
― Saurian encylopedia
Bisonia niemii was likely a small member of the Laurales order, possibly being included in the Lauraceae family. It was a tall broadleaf plant, around the height of a grown man at its maximum, very common in the Hell Creek Formation. The type specimen of this plant was found close to a Tyrannosaurus fossil.
