Abstract | The present paper describes mio- and macrosporesobtained from the Umia-beds (Uppermost Gondwanahorizon) in Cutch (W. India). They are referredto 48 genera and 82 species, of which four genera viz. Baculareticulosporis, Crassimonoletes, Umiaspora, Auriculozonospora, and 40 species are new. The spore-flora is rich in pteridophytic spores and coniferous pollen grains. It has been compared with the other known assemblages from comparable strata. Finally a discussion on the probable age of Umia-beds, based on the study of Sporae dispersae, has been given indicating that these beds closely correspond to the Wealden (Lower Cretaceous) age. |
