“…So far six fossil palm leaves have been described under this genus. They are Amesoneuron borassoides Bonde (1986) and A. deccanensis Guleria & Mehrotra, (1998) from Deccan Intertrappean beds of Madhya Pradesh and Tura Formation (Upper Palaeocene) of Garo Hills, Meghalaya, A. lakhanpalii Mehrotra (2000) from Tura Formation, Garo Hills, Meghalaya, A. manipurensis Guleria et al (2005) from the Late Eocene of Imphal, Manipur, A. sahnii Guleria et al (2000) from Lower Miocene of Kasauli Formation, Himachal Pradesh and A siwalica Prasad (2006) from Siwalik sediments of Ranital, Himachal Pradesh. A comparative study of present fossils with those above mentioned palm fossil leaves has been carried out and concluded that none of them show similarity with the present Siwalik fossils.…”

Six fossil leaf impressions comparable with extant taxa, Gynocardia odorata R.Br. (Flacourtiaceae), Millettia pachycarpa Benth. and Cynometra polyandra Roxb. (Fabaceae), Ventilago calyculata Tul. (Rhamnaceae), Terminalia tomentosa (Roxb.) W. & A. (Combretaceae) and Daemonorops calycarpus Mart. (Arecaceae) have been reported for the first time from Siwalik sediments exposed near Sarkaghat in Mandi District of Himachal Pradesh. All species are presently distributed in the tropical evergreen to moist deciduous forests of north-east India and south-east Asia. Their occurrence in the Siwalik sediments suggests that tropical humid climate with high precipitation prevailed in the area during Upper Miocene. The occurrence of palm leaf in the area is of ecologically importance as it indicates a characteristic feature of tropical vegetation where the temperature and humidity remain high throughout the year.

“…The presence of moisture loving evergreen elements signifies that the climate was tropical with plenty of rainfall. Presence of palm remains (Sahni, 1943;Guleria & Mehrotra, 1999) and Sonneratia (Srivastava, 2008) indicate swampy and near-shore conditions during the Maastrichtian-Danian in central India.…”

“…Sahni (1943) reported a palm wood, namely, Palmoxylon sclerodermum from Seoni but the exact locality was unknown. Later on, Guleria and Mehrotra 1999) reported a palm leaf Phoenicites lakhanpalii and few palm woods, viz. Palmoxylon binoriensis, P. canalosum, P. lunarianum and P. vaginatum.…”

Anatomical details of three well preserved dicotyledonous woods resembling extant genera, viz. Dracontomelon Bl. (syn. Dracontomelum Bl.) of the family Anacardiaceae, Elaeocarpus Linn. of the Elaeocarpaceae, Euphoria Comm. ex Juss. - Litchi chinensis Sonn. - Otonephalium Radlk. (anatomically indistinguishable) of the Sapindaceae have been described from the Deccan Intertrappean sediments of Ghansor, Seoni District, Madhya Pradesh. The assemblage indicates occurrence of thick tropical vegetation at the time of deposition. These genera are presently found in natural association and are distributed in tropical wet-evergreen forests of Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, Assam, Sikkim, Bangladesh and Myanmar etc. Their presence signifies that the climate was tropical with plenty of rainfall during the period of deposition.

“…Remarks-The pinnate eucamptodromous venation of the fossil at once indicates that it is a dicotyledonous leaf. The markedly curved entire margin with five pairs of alternate to sub-opposite secondaries differentiate the present specimen from the known fossil dicot leaves (Guleria et al, 1999;Mehrotra & Mandaokar, 2000). Hence, it is assigned a new species, Dicotylophyllum evansii sp.…”

The paper describes for the first time some Palaeogene plant fossils from Manipur, Northeast India. The fossils were recovered from the late Eocene and early Oligocene sediments in the vicinity of the boundary of the Disang and Barail Groups of rocks of the Imphal Valley and its adjoining areas. All the fossils belong to Angiosperms and represent monocots and dicots. The assemblage consists of mainly dicotyledonous leaves, two types of palm leaves, a fruiting shoot, a leguminous fruit and a bark. The fossil leaves show a rich morphological diversity and indicate the existence of warm and humid tropical vegetation at the time of deposition.
