Abstract

Some gymnospermous plant remains recovered from the Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous rocks (Gondwana) of the Hoshangabad and Narsinghpur districts, Madhya Pradesh have been described. These are Pachypteris indica (Oldham & Morris) Bose & Roy, Brachyphyllum eikaiostomum Sukh-Dev & Bose, Brachyphyllum sp., Araucarites cutchensis Feistmantel, A. minutus Bose & Maheshwari and Coniferocaulon rajmahalense Gupta. Of these, P. indica, B. eikaiostomum and B. sp. are in the form of incrustations.
