The compressions of fossil Quercus pannosa were found from the Pliocene in Baoshan, Western Yunnan and the cuticular structure of Quercus pannosa was carefully analyzed. The epidermal characteristics are as follows: no stomata in upper epidermis, cells from irregularity to pentagon in shape, cell anticlinal walls slightly curved, venation cancellate, no trichome base; stomata cyclocytic in lower epidermis, cells from irregularity to pentagon in shape, cell anticlinal walls slightly curved, venation pentagonal cancellate, the trichome base consisting of multicellular trichome foot and radial trichome basal cells. The comparison of cuticular structure between fossil and extant Q. pannosa based on the principle of the nearest living relative species suggests that the palaeoenvironment of Yangyi where fossil Q. pannosa lived in Pliocene is more arid than the cold-humid climate in which extant Q. pannosa lives and the fossil Q. pannosa is of near burial in situ.
