Abstract

The genus Lelstotheca, known so far only from the Barakar Formation of Rajmahal Hills, Bihar is reported from the Barakar Formation of Raniganj Coalfield, West Bengal. The genus is represented by two species, viz., L. robusta (Feistmantel) Maheshwari and L. striata sp. nov. The new species is characterized by the presence of interconnecting striations running parallel to the median vein of the leaves. The taxonomic position of the genus and its records elsewhere are also discussed.
