Abstract

Two fossil dicotyledonous woods, viz., Lophopetalumoxylon indicum gen. et sp. nov. from Ghughua near Shahpura and Artocarpoxylon deccanensis sp. nov. from a new locality of Sylthar in Mandla District, Madhya Pradesh have been described. The former closely compares with Lophopetalum littorale Ridley of Celastraceae while the latter shows maximum resemblance with Artocarpus heterophyllus Lamk. Of Moraceae.
