Abstract

The paper deals with some plant remain from Pur and Pat River sections exposed near the villages Trambau and Nangor in Kutch District. These are Trambauathallites sukhpurensis comb. nov., Isoetes janaianus sp. nov., Cycadospadix sp. and Allocladus patensis sp. nov Due to the presence of Trambauathallites sukhpurensis and Isoetes janaianus the fossiliferous beds are considered to be of fresh water origin.
