Abstract
Since 1984, the author has been studying the Daedong flora and has collected a large number of fossil plants from the Amisan Formation of Nampo Group distributed in Chungnam Coal-Field. One of the fossil plants was bennettitalean male flower, which was collected in 1986. The author described it as Weltrichia sp. The occurrence of Weltrichia sp. is the first record in the Early Mesozoic Daedong flora of Korea.
