Abstract

The present paper reviews the earlier work done on the Indian Permian algae and records a new Cyanophycean alga, Palaeowestiellopsis karharbariensis gen. et sp. nov., studied in cellular pulls taken from the stem surface of Phyllotheca indica Bunbury collected from the Karharbari Formation in Bengal-Nagpur Open Quarry. This new fossil alga is characterized by true branching, coiling of few branches, and a lack of sharp demarcation between the main filament and branches.
