Five new plant elements from the Barakar and Raniganj stages of Auranga Coalfield are described. The Barakar plants include a new dimorphic leaf whorl genus Diphyllopteris and two new species Neomariopteris barakarensis sp. nov., and Ottokaria biharensis sp. nov., Plumsteadia lanceolata sp. nov. represents a new type of fructification from the Raniganj Stage.
