Abstract: This paper deals with a florula found in the Pailuyuan Sandstone Formation of the district Weinan of central Shensi. The age of this bed is assigned to Late Eocene. From this bed, a large amount of the leaves of Palibinia pinnatifida (Reid et Chandler) comb. nov., P. korowinii Vassilevskaja and P. latifolia Kor. has been collected. Other leaves found in this bed belong to the genera Ulmus, Corylus, Sophora, Rosa, Spiraea, Crataegus, Campylotropis, Lespedeza and Salix (?) and the family Apocynoaceae. Palibinia pinnatifida was first described by Reid and Chandler in 1926 in the Bern- bridge Flora of England, as Dicotylophyllum pinnatifidum; but in 1932, Korowin further described some other specimens under the name Palibinia densifolia from the Ar-Oeln bed of Turkemania, Central Asia. Judging from the form and venation of these leaves, they are definitely of the same species. According to the International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature Palibinia should be adapted for this kind of plant, as the generic name Dicotylophyllum is too vague to be used for this peculiar linear pinnatifid leaves. Palibinia is rather difficult to be distinguished from Myrica, Comptonia, Banksia and Dryandra, yet it can be recognized under the critical examination of the venation. However, it is a form genus of doubtful affinity and is supposed to be a group of extinct woody plants, with coriaceous, alternate, linear pinnatifid leaves. The segments are round, with pointed apex. The primary veins appear quite strong. Each segment possesses a secondary vein, arising at an angle of 45–65º running stright forward, up to the apex, with a branch vein directed towards the sinus immediately below. Sometimes one or two interstitial veins are present between the secondary veins. Of which, the pinnatifid leaves of coriaceous nature, the tertiary veins directed towards the sinus below, and one or two interstitial veins developed between the lateral reins are the chief distinctive characters. Palibinia was found only in the Upper Eocene beds in England and Central Asia. It was usually associated with some tropical or subtropical plants, such as Cinnamomum, Sabal, Banksia, Grevillea and Myrica. In the present bed, plenty of Ephedra pollen grains have been secured. All the leaves described here are quite small and coriaceous. These indicate that the climate of central Shensi during the Late Eocene was rather warm and dry.
