Abstract

Fossil plants of the families Gleicheniaceae (Gleichenia nordenskioldii) and Matoniaceae (Phlebopteris polypodioides) are described here together with an unclassified fern Weichselia reticulata from the Lower Cretaceous (Jabalpur Stage) of Bansa and its neighbouring areas of the Shahdol district of Madhya Pradesh.
