Three new species of Dicroidium are desc1'ibed here from the Triassic of Nidpur, Sidhi District, Madhya Pradesh. Externally these three species are very similar to each other except that in D. nidpurensis and D. papillosum the venation is odontopteroid type, whereas, in D. gopadensis it is alethopteroid type. In the cuticular structure these species differ from each other main Iv in the presence or absence of papillae. In D. nidpurensis cell surface is smooth but in D. papillosum and D. gopadensis surface wall is usually papillate. In D. papillosum, subsidiary cells may be unspecialized or papillate, whereas, in D. gopadensis they are usually papillate.
Glottolepis rugosa gen. et sp. nov. is based on some tongue shaped scale-leaves collected from Nidpur, Sidhi district, Madhya Pradesh. The cuticle of G. rugosa is very tough and is hypostomatic. Stomata are sparsely distributed and concentrated more towards base.
Fossil woods resembling those of Calophyllum, Shorea, Gluta-Melanorrhoea, Cynometra, AfzeliaIntsia and Terminalia are described here from the Tertiary of Assam and NEFA. They were collected from the beds of Buri-Dihing River near Jaipur and Namsang River at Deomali.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
