Abstract

The present paper deals with a systematic description of the miospore assemblage recovered out of the Upper Gondwana coals and associated shales from Schora, Hathnapur in district Narsinghpur and Lameta Ghat in district Jabalpur, belonging to the Jabalpur Stage of the Jabalpur Series, represented in the Satpura Coal Basin, Madhya Pradesh, India. The miofloral assemblage consists of 58 genera and 103 species, of which one genus and 44 species are new. Only the new species have been described in detail and have been compared with the comparable known species of the southern and Northern miofloras.
