Abstract

A novo combination - Barakaroxylon jhariense is proposed for the wood Dadoxylon jhariense Surange & Sah. This wood possesses a solid pith, with marginal vertically running secretory canals and secretory cells. Another new species of Barakaroxylon, i.e. B. kraeuseli is instituted. This wood is characterized by the presence of pitting only on the radial walls of the tracheids and secretory canals scattered all over the pith.
