The present paper describes in detail the anatomy of a fossil dicotyledonous wood, Boswellioxylon indicum Dayal (1964), from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Keria (21° 59” 40’ N; 79° 10”15’ E) in Madhya Pradesh. In all anatomical details the fossil wood resembles the modern genus Boswellia Roxb. of the family Burseraceae.
