We present the results of the Suzaku observation of a supernova remnant (SNR), G359.1-0.5 in the direction of the Galactic center region. No canonical plasma model, in either ionization equilibrium or under-ionization, can fit the spectrum. These model give bump-like data-residual at ~2.7 and ~3.5 keV. Strong radiative recombination continua can fit these bump-like residuals, and hence the plasma is likely in an over-ionized state. In fact, an over-ionized plasma model fit the over-all spectrum of this SNR. The ionization temperature (kTz = 0.77 keV) is significantly higher than the electron temperature (kTe = 0.29 keV). This highly over-ionized state reinforces us to revise the abundances from those estimated with the conventional plasma code.
