Abstract

A new taxon of ariculatae, closely resembling the characteristic Barakar form Lelstotheca is reported from the shales associated with Nega Coal of Raniganj Formation in Raniganj Coalfield. It comprises linear-lanceolate leaves with mucronate apices in clusters of about 18 in each whorl. Leaves are free throughout and apparently do not form a sheath or disc.
