乌达柄蕨Caulopteriswudaensissp. nov.采自内蒙古乌达地区早二叠世早期山西组。柄蕨属被认为是树蕨茎的印模化石。柄蕨属的种类主要分布于欧美省，而在华夏省则十分稀少。新种的发现将为柄蕨属植物的地理分布、生态学和进化提供重要依据。
Caulopteris wudaensis sp. nov. was collected from the Shanxi Formation of the early Early Permian in the Wuda area of Inner Mongolia, China. The genus Caulopteris is considered as the impression fossils of the tree fern stems. Most of the species under the genus Caulopteris are mainly distributed in the Euramerican Province, whereas they are very rare in the Cathaysian Province. The discovery of the new species will provide some important evidences for the geographical distribution, ecology and evolution of the genus Caulopteris.
