Abstract

The paper records the first definite ginkgoalean leaf from the Indian Triassic sediments. The leaf is petiolate with semiorbicular lamina, basal angle about 200º and veins generally 1 mm apart. As the leaf is quite different from the known ginkgoalean species, it has been given a new name, viz., Ginkgoites goiraensis sp. nov.
