Abstract

A fossil dicotyledonous wood, Euphorioxylon deccanense sp. nov., of Sapindaceae has been described from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Mehdwani, Mandla District. Small to medium sized vessels, scanty paratracheal parenchyma, almost exclusively uniseriate xylem rays and non-septate fibres are the diagnostic features of the fossil wood.
