Abstract

Fossil woods resembling those of Diospyros-Maba and Anisoptera are described here from Tipam sandstones near the town of Hailakandi district Cachar, Assam. These woods are noteworthy owing to their fine structural preservation and from the standpoint of their palaeogeographical distribution. Although Diospyros-Maba is presently found in the region of Assam, no Anisoptera now grows in India proper.
