Abstract

A critical study of the sterile and fertile fronds of the Lower Gondwana ferns from India has been done. The ferns have been classified under Dizeugotheca Archangelsky & Sota, Dichotomopteris Maithy and Neomariopteris Maithy with a brief remark on their affinities with the modern fern families.
