Abstract

Fossil woods of Pahudioxylon sahnii Ghosh & Kazmi, Cynometroxylon parainae-quifolium sp. nov., Millettioxylon indicum Awasthi, Anogeissoxylon thailandicum sp. nov., and Dryoxylon siamensis sp. novo are described here from the north-east region of Thailand. Although their exact age could not be known, it is most likely that they might belong to Upper Tertiary.
