Abstract

---

Anogeissoxylon rehmanense sp.nov., a new silicified wood is described from Tertiary deposits of Bara formation exposed near Rehman dhoro district Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan. The xylotomical features of the present fossil show close affinities with the genus Anogeissus of the family Combretaceae. The modern comparable forms of this taxon indicate a tropical climate in which the plant in question was growing.
