Since the Taiyuan Formation used to be regarded as of Upper Carboniferous has proved to be a diachronous rock stratigraphic unit, the formerly so-called Stephanian flora of China mostly contained in this formation needs be critically restudied. This paper attempts to show some aspects (composition, character and phytoprovince etc.) of the Stephanian flora in the strict sense.
