Sporae Dispersae from Jhingurdah Seam Singrauli Coalfield (M.P.), India

Abstract

Jhingurdah seam, the top most seam of Singrauli Coalfield, Madhya Pradesh has been sporologically investigated. The Sporae dispersae represented in this seam consists of a large variety of trilete, monolete, monosaccate, disaccate and alete miospores. In all 110 species belonging to 49 genera have been described, out of which 35 species are new. The fundamental approach behind the generic and specific circumscriptions is based upon the detailed study of various morphographic characters borne by different individuals.
