In his important contribution to Rhaetian and Liassic floras of East Greenland, Harris pointed out that in the major floras of East Asia, the sequence of plant beds is little known, it is out of the question to work out their zenation. Recent studies, however, reveal the presence in China of two quite distinct plant-bearing horizons of late Triassic and Early Liassic in age. The lower plant-bearing horizon yielding many important elements of the lepidopteris zone, such as ptilozamites, Lepidopteris, Anthrophyopsis, Drepanozamites, Pterophyllum (ptilum, aequale), Cycadocarpidium (rdmanni) etc., is very widespread in South China, while the upper horizon is more restrieted in distribution and its floristic composition was not known until now.
The present paper deals with the largest collection of fossil plants hitherto secured from the upper horizon, which comprises about 72 species belonging to 33 genera respectively..
