A coniferous wood collected at Adhari, Dist. Chanda, Maharashtra State, shows the combination of characters found in two different families Abietineae and Araucarineae. Its characters agree with those of the genus Planoxylon Stopes (1916) but the species seem to be different. It is from the Lower Triassic horizon (Kamthi Stage) of India whereas the species Planoxylon Hectori Stopes was from New Zealand belonging to the Cretaceous period.
