Abstract

Sporae dispersae from the Talchir shales at Goraia in the South Rewa Gondwana basin have been described. The spores are assigned to 13 genera. Two species, viz. Potonieisporites neglectus and Lunatisporites goraiensis, are new. The genus Quadrisporites of Hennelly (1958) is emended.

The spores are placed in organ and form genera and species according to the International Code of Palaeobotanical Nomenclature. The organ and form genera are then placed in a morphographic system because most of them cannot still be assigned to the morphological system of plant families.
