Abstract

Five species of Glossopteris (G. cf. G. linearis, G. nidpurensis, G. sp. A, G. sp. B and G. sp. C), Rhabdotaenia sp., Taeniopteris glandulata sp. nov., Noeggerathiopsis sp. and Conites sp. are described here in this paper. Out of these, Glossopteris nidpurensis, G. sp. A, G. sp. B, Rhabdotaenia sp., Taeniopteris glandulata and fragmentary conifer shoots are mainly based on their cuticular characters and remaining ones have been described on their external morphology.
