Abstract: Two fossil flowers of angiosperms are described from the Shanwang Formation of Shahdong Province, eastern China, where plentful palaeontological fossils have been discovered. They are Archimalus calycina gen. et sp. nov., and Papilionacea indigoferoides gen. et sp. nov. In comparsion with extant plants Archimalus calycina shows a close relationship to some members of the family Rosaceae, especially the genus Malus., and Papilionacea indigoferoides exhibits a similar pattern of flower of the family Papilionaceae. The fossil plant with such a kind of flower is considered belonging to that family. The age of Shanwang Formation is considered Mid-Miocene.
