A new species of Palmoxylon, P. cordatum from the Deccan Intertrappean Series is described here. In this species the dermal region is clearly distinguishable into outer crowded and inner less crowded regions. Elongated parenchyma is present on the ventral side of fibrovascular bundles of the less crowded dermal region. Median sinus of bundles is cordate. Fibrous bundles and stegmata are present. In the roots, fibrous and medullary bundles are absent. It is comparable to P. surangei Lakhanpal and P. sclerodermum Sahni & Shukla, of the sub-group cordata.
