SUMMARY A pollen diagram from the pre‐Pleistocene marine sediments near Orford, Suffolk, shows the presence of a forest flora, mainly coniferous, with a number of exotic genera of Eastern Asian/North American affinity, including Sequoia ‐type, Sciadopitys and Taxodium ‐type. It is suggested that this pollen assemblage may be Brunssumian (Lower Pliocene) in age.
