Two new species of winged fossil seeds are described from the Ganjra Nalla locality in the South Rewa Gondwana basin, Central India. One of the species, represented by a single specimen, has two broad lateral wings one on either side of a round body, which has a proximal ridge and a distal beak. This species is named Samaropsis johillensis.
There are three specimens of the other species which is characterized by an elliptical body, surrounded by two lateral wings, narrow at the proximal end giving it a cordate shape. The wings increase markedly towards the distal end where they are separated by a wide gap. This species is named Samaropsis ganjrensis.
