Nariwa flora - Nariwa shokubutsugun (English spelling)

This flora is from the Nariwa Group of the Late Triassic Mesozoic Era, which developed near Nariwa Town, Takahashi City, Okayama Prefecture. It is very similar to the Mine Flora of the Mine Group in Yamaguchi Prefecture, which is also from the Late Triassic but slightly older, and is home to a large number of plants, including wedge-leaved plants (horsetails), ferns, bennettites, cycads, ginkgo trees, and conifers.

Horsetail species include Equisetites multidentatus , which resembles modern horsetails but is thicker, with stems up to 5 centimetres in diameter ; Neocalamites carrerei , which has long, linear leaves that grow in whorls on stems over 5 centimetres in diameter; Annulariopsis inopinata , which has fan-shaped leaves; and ferns such as Todites from the Osmundae family, Clathropteris , Thaumatopteris , Dictyophyllum , and Hausmannia from the Acanthaceae family. In addition, gymnosperms such as the Bennettites Pterophyllum , Otozamites , Ptilozamites , Yabeiella , Taeniopteris , the Cycads Nilssonia and Ctenis , the Ginkgoites and Baiera , the conifers Podozamites , Elatocladus , and Nageiopsis are found. These vegetation types suggest a warm and humid climate at that time.

Japanese:

岡山県高梁(たかはし)市成羽町付近に発達する、中生代三畳紀後期の成羽層群から産する植物群。同じ三畳紀後期だがやや時代が古い、山口県美祢(みね)層群の美祢植物群ともよく似ており、楔葉(けつよう)類(トクサ類)をはじめとして、シダ類、ベネチテス類、ソテツ類、イチョウ類、針葉樹類など数多くの植物が産出する。

 トクサ類としては、現生のトクサに似ているがそれよりは太く、茎の直径が5センチメートルもあるエクイセティテス・ムルティデンタトゥスEquisetites multidentatus、直径5センチメートル以上もある茎に線状の長い葉を輪生させるネオカラミテス・カレレイNeocalamites carrerei、団扇(うちわ)状の葉をもつアヌラリオプシス・イノピナタAnnulariopsis inopinata、シダ類としてはゼンマイ科のトディテスTodites、ヤブレガサウラボシ科のクラスロプテリスClathropteris、タウマトプテリスThaumatopteris、ディクティオフィルムDictyophyllum、ハウスマンニアHausmanniaなどがある。また、裸子植物では、ベネチテス類のプテロフィルムPterophyllum、オトザミテスOtozamites、プティロザミテスPtilozamites、ヤベイエラYabeiella、タエニオプテリスTaeniopteris、ソテツ類のニルソニアNilssonia、クテニスCtenis、イチョウ類のギンゴイテスGinkgoites、バイエラBaiera、針葉樹類のポドザミテスPodozamites、エラトクラドゥスElatocladus、ナゲイオプシスNageiopsisなどがある。これらの植生は、当時の温暖湿潤な気候を示唆している。
