Abstract
A Paleocene plant macrofossil assemblage is described from the central South Island, New Zealand This includes a fern, Lygodium sp , and five species of conifer, including a new genus and species of Podocarpaceae, Kakahuia camphellu, and a new species of Prumnopitys, P opihiensis Eighteen angiosperm taxa include five which are considered to be Proteaceae One of these is Lomatia novae‐zelandiae sp nov , the first record of Lomatia in New Zealand, and the oldest currently knownKeywords
