Abstract

Eleven new species have been described from the Siwalik beds of Bhikhnathoree, West Champaran District, Bihar. These are based on leaf-impressions which show close resemblance with the leaves of modern Urena lobata, Aphanamixis polystachya, Toona ciliata, Pterocarpus macrocarpus, Derris scandens, Pongamia pinnata, Cassia glauca, Syzygium bracteatum, Ardisia solanacea, Ipomoea eriocarpa and Phoebe lanceolata.
