| Abstract | The paper deals with eight fossil leguminous woods representing the modern woods of Albizia, Afzelia-Intsia, Cynometra, Dialium, Isoberlinia and Milletlia-Pongamia. They have been reported for the first time from the Tertiary (Pliocene?) of district Kachchh. The first two genera are represented by two species each and the remaining by a single species. Among these, Dialium and lsoberlinia have been reported for the first time from India. The occurrence of tropical African genus Isoberlinia is phytogeographically important as it indicates the possibility of migration of some of the African and Arabian elements in the Indian flora. |
