Abstract

A new species of the genus Sapindoxylon Krausel (1922), viz., Sapindoxylon schleicheroides is described from the fossiliferous locality of Keria (21° 59' 40" N; 79° 10' 15" E) in the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Madhya Pradesh. It resembles the wood structure of the living genus Schleichera Willd. of the Sapindaceae.
