Abstract

Three new leguminous woods have been described from the Cuddalore Series near Pondicherry. They show close resemblance with those of Albizia, Cassia and Pericopsis respectively, and hence named as Albizinium pondicherriensis sp. nov., Cassinium arcotense sp. nov. and Pericopsoxylon indicum gen. et sp. nov.
