%X In order to elucidate the palaeoecology of the lower Erhchiu Formation, the early Pliocene, Sanhsia, northern Taiwan, an effort has been made to analyse the pollen fossil assemblage and reconstruct the depositional environment of that area.
  In this pollen analysis, 65.7 per cent angiosperms pollen, 17.2 per cent gymnosperms pollen, 17.1 per cent bryophytous and pteridophytic spores were obtained.
  In this pollen assemblage, four new genera, eight new species and five new records have been found. In the eight new species, except the Retitricolpitrites taiwanensis and Malvacearumpollis majus which cannot be confirmed, the six new species are herbaceous angiosperm pollen.
