Abstract

Dichotomopteris gen. nov. is instituted for the fern fronds earlier described under Merianopteris, Alethopteris and Ptychocarpus from the Lower Gondwanas of India. Two species of Dichotomopteris, D. major n. comb. and D. lindleyii n. comb. are identified on basis of both sterile and fertile specimens.
