Abstract

A piece of fossil wood measuring 5 x 3·5cm from the Deccan Intertrappean Series was collected by one of US (T.S.M.) at Mohgaonkalan, Dist. Chhindwara, M.P., India. Anatomy of it showed strong resemblance with the anatomy of stem in the genus Sonneratia L. (family-Sonneratiaceae), to which it in all probability belongs and, therefore, has been named as Sonneratioxylon intertrappeum sp. novo A fossil fungus was obtained from this wood and it has been described separately elsewhere (Biradar & Mahabale, 1972).
