Abstract

A new species of Lidgettonia, Lidgettonnia mucronata has been described. It consists of a spathulate fertile leaf with veins spreading out from the base, dichotomise and form meshes. Eight short pedicles, each carrying one cupulate disc at its apex are attached to the basal part of the fertile leaf, 4 on either side. Cupulate disc is almost circular carrying small seeds on its underside.
