The plants described here are: (1) one species of Sphenopteris, viz. Sphenopteris lobifolia Morris, which is being recorded for the first time from the Lower Gondwana rocks of India; (2) a fertile frond of Pecopteris probably belonging to the genus ?Ptychocarpus; (3) an interesting specimen most probably referable to the genus ?Ctenis; (4) a new species of the problematical genus Actinopteris, viz. Actinopteris indica; and (5) a fructification, a cone most probably belonging to Schizoneura gondwanensis.
