Abstract

Three fossil woods from the Tertiary of Assam are described here. One, resembling the modern wood of Lannea, is from a road cutting at mile-stone 9 on Dimapur-Diphu road in Mikir Hills, and the others comparable with Adenanthera and Swintonia are from near the town of Hailakandi (24°26'N; 92°32'E) in district Cachar. Recently, these have been briefly described by us (Prakash & Tripathi, 1967, 1968).
