Impressions of stem fragments of Lepidodendrales are described from Lower Carboniferous strata from Abu-Thora Formation in Southwest Sinai .

The Late Carboniferous of Rod El-Hamal Formation, Wadi Araba has some fossil plant remains content. The systematic description of these remains reveals the identification of twelve species representing Lycophyta, Sphenophyta, Pteridospermatophyta, and Cordaitophyta. All are recorded for the first time from this formation.

Well preserved fragments of fossil leaves of Dipterocarpophyllum , Cyperaceae, Gramineae and a pod-like fruit are described from Oligocene (?) of Farafra Oasis, Egypt

A summary is given on the African Miocene dicot woods.Egypt is the second richest African country after Ethiopia in Miocene dicot woods. Fabaceae is the largest family regarding the number of wood species in Africa and Egypt. Miocene dicot woods from Wadi Natrun area in Egypt were examined and two new records: Dalbergioxylon dicorynioides-Fabaceae and Sapindoxylon stromeri-Sapindaceae are reported. Xylotomical features indicate that the former was a large tree while the latter was a shrub or small tree and that a nonseasonal tropical palaeoclimate is suggested for the Miocene of the growth area.
