| Abstract | The fossil plants collected by the author in theyear 1944 from three different localities in theSouth Rewa Gondwana basin, Central India, aredescribed in this paper.1. Karkati (23°.22': 81°.6') has yielded pureGlossopteris flora consisting of three species ofGlossopteris -G. indica, G. Browniana, G. angustifolia -, one species each of Sphenopterisand Dictyopteridium, an equisetaceous stem and a fossil of uncertain affinity.2. At Kamtadand (23°.25': 81°.6') were found one species each of Glossopteris, Vertebraria,Dicroidium and an equisetaceous stem. This interesting mixture of Glossopteris with Dicroidium suggests a somewhat younger age thanthat of Karkati flora. Fox (1931) has stated that there is no admixture of the two floras Glossopteris and Thinnfeldia (Dicroidium) atany place. But this mixed flora from Kamtadandshows that Fox's view is not correct.3. Parsora (23°.26": 80°.5'.30"). Here a few verypoorly preserved leaves, doubtfully referredto Glossopteris, have been found. |
