Abstract

Cuticular studies of compressed seeds from the Triassic sediments of Nidpur, Sidhi District, Madhya Pradesh have revealed the presence of five new genera, viz., Savitrispermum, Nidispermum, Rotundaspermum, Pyriformispermum and Pantiaspermum. The seeds exhibit affinities with Pteridospermales and Cycadales.
