Abstract

A new fossil dicotyledonous wood is described from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Mohgaonkalan (21° 1’ N; 79° 11’ E), District Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh. It has been assigned to a new genus of fossil woods, Tetrameleoxylon and named as T. prenudiflora sp. nov., because of its marked similarity in wood structure to the modern Tetrameles nudiflora R. Br. of the Datiscaceae.
