ABSTRACT = {Fifty-seven sample taken from the Yunshuichi section in southwestern Taiwan are palynologically analyzed; six new genera, fifty-two new species, five new record and two new combinations are proposed. The new angiospermous taxa in this study are compared with Muller's review. These new taxa accord with the time coirse of apperance with several areas outside Taiwan, but  Fagraea and Patrinia typs have not been sufficiently documented in the past.
Some taxa, e.g. Tilia, Pterocarya, Carya, Ephedra, etc., are absent in the present flora of Taiwan, but are still living in southeastern mainland China; therefore the Pliocene vegetation of Taiwan might be, in part, similar to the present vegetation of southeastern mainland China.
Two pollen assemblages, i.e., Subalpine-Temperate and Sibtropical-Tropical assemblage are utilized to subdivide the pollen zones. Seven pollen zones are determined, the climate became warmer in Zone II; wet and hot in Zone V ; cold and dry in Zone VI; prominent temperature changes from warm to cold, then warm to cold again, occurred in Zone VII. Zone VII, therefore, may belong th the early Pleistocene stage.
Reworked palynomorphs from Cretaceous and Early Tertiary deposits are commonly found. Based on the appearance of these reworked palynomorphs, including Dinogynium, a widespread marine dinoflagellate in upper Cretaceous, ths pressence of outcrops of Cretaceous marine deposits in the sedimentary cycleof Yunshuichi section con be inferred.},
