An assemblage of plant megafossils comprising leaf-impressions, fruits and culm-impression recovered from the Lower-Middle Siwalik sediments near Oodlabari, Darjeeling District, West Bengal (India) has been described. It consists of 32 species of dicots and one species of monocots (Bamboo) belonging to 32 genera of 22 families. Out of them 11 genera viz., Mitrephora, Casearia, Alsodeia, Pterospermum, Grewia, Nothopagia, Combretum, Vernonia, Alstonia, Callicarpa and Macaranga are new to the Siwalik flora. An analysis of the floral assemblage with respect to the distribution pattern of modern equivalent taxa reveals the presence of three types of elements, viz., (i) evergreen (60.61%). (ii) evergreen to deciduous (18.18%) and (iii) moist-deciduous (21.21%), which indicate the prevalence of warm and humid climate in the region during the deposition of Siwalik sediments. It is also interesting to mention that the assemblage is dominated by 19 Indo-Malayan elements revealing a fair exchange of floral elements between the two subcontinents during Miocene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
