%X Using data from previous research on Quercus sect. Heterobalanus, the coexistence approach to Xixabangma and Namling fossil sets, and altitudinal ranges of vegetation presented by fossil floras, a review and reevaluation have been made of existing theories on the uplift of the Himalayas, especially the palaeoaltitudes of Xixabangma and Namling in Tibet. The Xixabangma fossil set has a palaeoaltitude range of 2500-3500 m, and has risen 2200-3400 m since the Pliocene. The lower and upper assemblages of the Miocene Namling had palaeoelUtudes of 2500-3000 m and 2800-3000 m, respectively. Therefore, Namling has risen at least 1300 m since the Miocene, thereby challenging some existing theories that suggest NamUng has been static since the Miocene.
