摘要	The recognition of plant biogeographic ranges over time and migration routes is crucial for understanding ancient global plate tectonic configurations. This paper deals with a new fossil plant from the uppermost part of the Taiyuan Formation (earliest Asselian) in the Wuda Coalfield, Inner Mongolia, China. It has a taeniopterid morphology comprising strap-shaped leaves with a prominent midrib and arching secondary veins, and it exhibits dimorphism between its fertile and vegetative leaves. The fertile leaf has a slightly lobed margin, with each lateral vein terminating in a marginal lobe that bears a synangium. Each synangium consists of primarily two, occasionally three, oval sporangia. Based on these distinctive characteristics it is identified as a new species of Ilfeldia. Previously, Ilfeldia had a highly restricted record in the Upper Pennsylvanian of Portugal and Germany into the lower Permian of Germany. The sedimentary and floral context suggests Ilfeldia was a xerophilous element that underwent long-distance dispersal during the Late Pennsylvanian to earliest Asselian, migrating from Gondwana (Iberia) to Cathaysia (North China) via Euramerica (Eastern Avalonia). The palaeogeographical distribution over time of Ilfeldia supports the continental model of the Wegenerian Pangaea configuration and underscores the continental connection between Euramerica and Cathaysia in the Late Pennsylvanian.
