C gaoligongensis,C gongii, C lihengiae, C bicolor were reported for the first time.In this genus, the pollen grains are spheroidal, inaperturate. Based on exine ornamentation differentiation, pollen grains were distinctly divided into 2 types.One is psilate such as C gigantea ,the other is spinulate.
