Abstract

Two new fossil woods, viz. Indoxylon canalosum gen. et sp. nov. and Dadoxylon parenchymosum have been described from the Lower Gondwanas of India. The former wood is characterized by the presence of secretory canals in the pith, one in centre and rest on the margin and connected by horizontal running canals. The latter wood Dadoxylon parenchymosum is characterized by the presence of solid parenchymatous pith, araucaroid pitting on the radial and tangential walls of the tracheids.
