Abstract | A new specimen identical with Viracarpon hexaspermum Sahni is investigated and described in detail. The stalked axis of the fructification bears sessile, ebracteate fruits in close vertical rows; the individualfruits are six-angular, six-carpellary and hexalocular with a single pendulous seed in each loculus: the fruit top has depressions and bears a crown of hairy spines. Comparison with the modern families shows that this monocotyledonous genus is an extinct one, and does not readily fall into any existing family. |
