| Abstract | In the present paper three species of fossil woods belonging to the family Anacardiaceae have been described from near the villages Murattandichavadi, Thiruchitrambalam (Tiruchitambalam) and Kasippalaiyam, about 8-10 km. W.N.W of Pondicherry. One of them shows closest resemhlance with the wood structure of Mangifera L. and hence designated as Mangiferoxylon scleroticum gen. et sp. nov. The other two species resemble the woods of Gluta and Melanorrhoea and have been referred to the genus Glutoxylon Chowdhury (1936). One of them is identical with C. burmense (Holden) Chowdhury (1952) and the other is a new species which is here described as G. cuddalorense. |
