STATE, BRAZIL.This paper records the first fossil plants from the Taió Municipality (Santa Catarina State, Brazil), represented by remains of Sphenopsida.This macrofloral record was identified in outcrops corresponding to the basal portion of the Rio Bonito Formation (Lower Permian of the Paraná Basin).The studied material is made up of specimens of Phyllotheca australis and Paracalamites australis, which were collected near the left margin of Taió River.The beds containing this macroflora are overlaid by deposits with the well-known marine macrofauna named 'Taió Assemblage' extending the fossil record of the region and contributing to a better understanding of the postglacial succession of this portion of the Paraná Basin.
