Abstract

Dictyophyllum indicum n. sp. and Hausmannia pachyderma Sukh-Dev, described here, were collected from clay pits near Than in Saurashtra. Both the species are based on sterile fronds. The overall shape of the sterile segments of D. indicum is more like the fertile segments of D. rugosum Lindley & Hutton.
