Abstract

The paper deals with the anatomy of a new species of Palmoxylon, P. arviensis, collected from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of the village Nawargaon. It shows compact ground tissue in the dermal, slightly spongy in the subdermal and highly lacunar in the central zone of the stem. The wood also possesses fibrovascular bundles with cordate dorsal sclerenchymatous sheath and belongs to the group Cordata (Stenzel, 1904).
