Abstract
A monocotyledonous leaf macrofossil taxon from Golden (;rove in Adelai de, South Australia is recognised as being close to several extant Aus tralasian species of Cordyline, especially those in the C. stricta (Si ms) Endl. / C: fruticosa (L.) A. Chev. complex. The fossil is assigned to the form genus Paracordyline, known previously from the Oligocene Kerguelen Islands. However, as the Golden Grove taxon differs markedly from the Kerguelen species, it is considered to be a new species, P. aureonemoralis Conran & Christophel.
