This report is the second of a series of comprehensive reviews of the reproductive material from localities of the Eocene Claiborne Group of the southeastern United States. We examine fossil plant reproductive material from two localities, the Bovay and Bolden clay pits, in northern Mississippi, USA. The investigation of 193 specimens has resulted in the recognition of 52 taxa/morphotypes. Based upon comparisons of gross morphology of these specimens with available extant plant material and the literature, we are able to relate 17 taxa/morphotypes to the following 11 extant families: Annonaceae (1), Araliaceae (1), Caprifoliaceae (1), Eucommiaceae (1), Fabaceae (6), Fagaceae (2), Icacinaceae (1), Sapindaceae (1), Salicaceae (1), Rhamnaceae (1), and Theaceae (1). In addition, 35 morphotypes are not assigned to any family due to the limited number of diagnostic characters. Of the 52 taxa/morphotypes recognized, 38 (73.1%) are unique to the Bovay locality and nine (17.3%) are unique to Bolden. Only five (9.6%) taxa/morphotypes are shared by the two localities. Of the 62 taxa/morphotypes recognized from the Warman clay pit, Tennessee, only eight taxa/morphotypes are shared with the Bovay and/or Bolden localities, Mississippi. This study has expanded our knowledge of the Eocene plant diversity of the southeastern United States and has shown that there is a remarkable lack of species overlap among the three localities examined to date.
