Some materials belonging to the Leptostrobus myeongamensis Kim were found in the Upper Triassic Amisan Formation, Nampo Group, Korea. This species is closely associated with the foliage of Czekanowskia ex gr. rigida Heer. Although none of Leptostrobus myeongamensis Kim has been found in organic connection with Czekanowskia leaves, it is considered that they belong to the same taxa based on their common occurrence. The occurrence of Leptostrobus myeongamensis Kim from the Late Triassic floras of Korea is one of the oldest records in the Mesozoic floras found in the world.

Leptostrobus myeongamensis sp. nov. is newly described from the well-preserved but broken material occurring in the Upper Triassic Amisan Formation of the Nampo Group in Korea. This species is characterized by its lateral appendages of cone axis, each consisting of a rounded capsule and small scale leaf, and by its cone base covered with small scale leaves, the same size as in cone axis. This species is the first record from the Mesozoic strata in Korea.
