Article is devoted to the first results of the analysis and study of plants macroremains collected at the end of the last century by geologists and paleobotanists of VNIGRI from Triassic deposits of the Timan-Pechora province. This was possible by the need to substantiate the age of gray-colored Triassic strata and its stratigraphic units. The systematic composition of cycads group and stratigraphic confinement of taxa were clarified. The diagnosis of the Doratophyllum genus was supplemented with epidermal signs. The typification of previously allocated three Pechora species - D. acuminata Chramova, D. synensis Chramova, D. vjatkensis Chramova was given; their diagnoses and stratigraphic confinement were clarified. For the first time for the flora of variegated strata of the region (Naryanmarskaya, Syninskaya suites) the megasporophylls of cycads of the Dioonitocarpidium genus was described, commonly known as part of Middle Triassic (Ladinian) floras of Europe.

Key words: Timan-Pechora basin, Middle Triassic, Ladinian, flora, Сycads, plant macroremains, epidermis, megasporophylls.
