The paper describes in detail a fossil palm wood Palmoxylon mohgaonensis from the Deccan Intertrappean series of India. The distinguishing characters of the present species are the oval shape of the dermal bundles. Fibrous bundles are present without stegmata. Leaf traces are absent in the dermal region. Ground parenchyma is made up of round cells, elongated cells are absent. Fibrous and medullary bundles are absent in the roots. It is comparable to P. surangei Lakhanpal and P. cordatum Trivedi and Surange (in press) in the subgroup cordata of petrified palm stems.
