The present paper describes mio- and macrospores obtained from the Umia-beds (Uppermost Gondwana horizon) in Cutch (W. India). They are referred to 48 genera and 82 species, of which four genera viz. Baculareticulosporis, Crassimonoletes, Umiaspora, Auriculozonospora, and 40 species are new. The spore-flora is rich in pteridophytic spores and coniferous pollen grains. It has been compared with the other known assemblages from comparable strata. Finally, a discussion on the probable age of Umia-beds, based on the study of Sporae dispersae, has been given indicating that these beds closely correspond to the Wealden (Lower Cretaceous) age.
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.
