A large number of fossil woods were collected from three new fossiliferous localities situated in the South Tripura District, India where rocks of the Tipam Group (Late Miocene) are exposed. Three of these woods, namely Bauhinia, Dipterocarpoxylon and Glutoxylon have been described out of which first two are reported for the first time from this region. Their presence indicates the existence of tropical evergreen forests in the South Tripura District during the Late Miocene.
