Provenance of the flysch Langjiexue Group of Upper Triassic in Qiongjie and Gongga area of southern Tibet, China, is analyzed in the paper. By clastic component, most of sands fall in recycled and mixed orogenic provenances. REE and trace element data show a mixture of parent source in recycled orogen tectonics by comparison with those proposed by Bhatia (1995). Either brown, or pale violet and blue, or green light of Quartz under cathode luminescence proves possibilities of metamorphic, volcanic and plutonic sources. Therefore, it is proposed that terrigenous sediments in the Langjiexue Group are derived from a parent source where had ever been in control of recycled orogen, during which crystalline basement could be exposed under air and attached on to a continent with some complexes of melange. The provenance of the Langjiexue Group is of mixture. On the basis of discussion of provenance above, we disputably suppose that: (1) the Langjiexue Group could be a product generated in submarine fan under a rift or remnant sea, even in a foredeep of foreland basin; (2) there might be a block or microplate placed between Indian Subcontinent and Lhasa Block during Late Triassic, where a coeval orogenic belt should be accessory.
