Abstract

Specimens of Equisetites rajmahalensis, Marattiopsis macrocarpa and Cladophlebis salicifilia collected from Bindaban and Chunakhali areas and their previous records of Rajmahal Formation have been investigated to determine their specific circumscription. In addition, pinnately compound leaf, bearing ovate-orbicular pinnae with reticulate venation is described for the first time from the formation.
