Abstract

More carbonized woods from Varkala Cliff Section and Payangadi Clay Mine belonging to Warkalli beds (Miocene-Pliocene) have been investigated. These woods show close resemblance with the extant woods of Leea, Gluta and Gonystylus and have been named Leeoxylon canncanorense sp. nov., Glutoxylon burmense (Hold.) Chowdhury, Gonystyloxylon indicum gen. et sp. nov. and G. tertiarum sp. nov. Almost all the modern taxa with which these carbonized woods show closest resemblance are confined to the tropical evergreen forests of Malayan and Indonesian archipelagoes.
