“…However, it can atleast be said that the characters preserved in the fossil leaf strongly suggest its affinities to this genus. Circumstantial evidences also support the possibility of its belonging to Musa as petrified fruits of this genus and a pseudostem resembling that of Musa have already been described from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Mohgaon Kalan (Jain, 1964a(Jain, , 1964bRao & Menon, 1963). It is interesting to note that closely comparable seeds of the petrified fruit, Musa cardiosperma (Jain, 1964a) from Mohgaon Kalan are to be found particularly in those modern species which presently grow in Assam-Burma region, thus supporting further the possibility of the fossil leaf belonging to Musa as this leaf also compares closely with a Burmese species, Musa ornata.…”

“…The angle of divergence (Di1cher, 1974, p. 42) between the pri mary vein and the secondary veins varies from 40°to 50°b eing more towards the basal region of the lea;f. .The space between the secondary vems IS traversed by a large number of intersecondary veins (Dilcher, 1974, p. 43) Although, the fossil represents only a portion of the leaf, its structural details suggest a close resemblance of this leaf with that of Musa of the family Musaceae. Petrified fruit of Musa, M. cardiosperma (Jain, 1964a) and a pseudo stem, Musocaulon indicum (Rao & Menon, 1963;Jain, 1964b), probably belonging to this genus are also known from Mohgaon Kalan.…”

Indian fossil monocotyledons: Current Status, Recent Developments and Future Directions

The megafossil records of monocotyledons assigned to Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) onward from India have been reviewed along with their possible resemblances with the extant members to have a meaningful taxonomic and phylogenetic relationship. The early record of angiosperm megafossils assigned to the dicotyledons is from the Lower Cretaceous horizon of Rajmahal Hills, Bihar (now Jharkhand). A thorough search for the monocotyledons is yet to be made from these beds. The Deccan Intertrappean beds which belong to Maastrichtian (Upper Cretaceous) - Palaeocene age, are very rich in angiosperms comprising both dicotyledons and monocotyledons preserved especially in the form of permineralizations. The later epochs or series, however, are rich in compressions and impressions. The monocotyledonous flora is dominated mainly by palms (Family-Arecaceae) followed by the families of Scitamineae, Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Araceae. In order to understand the early monocotyledonous diversification future work is to be concentrated in the Rajmahal Intertrappeans and contemporary horizons belonging to the Lower Cretaceous Period. Thorough search for entire herbaceous elements, woody juvenile and arborescent members (palms, pandans, aroids, liliales, grasses, Cyperaceae, etc.), reconstructions of entire plants based upon organic occurrences and associations in addition to the isolated reproductive and vegetative organs of taxonomic significance is to be given priority. In depth knowledge of morphology and anatomy of comparable extant flora is required for their phylogenetic assessments.

“…However, its anatomical details are not available. Musocaulon indicum Jain (Jain, 1964a;Rao & Menon, 1963) is a pseudostem formed of young leaves rolled in distichous phyllotaxy. Biradar and Bonde (1990) emended it into Cyclanthodendron sahnii Sahni & Surange on the basis of its organic occurrence with the later.…”

“…The petiole Heliconiaites mohgaonensis Trivedi & Verma (1972), the pseudostem Musocaulon indicum Jain (Jain, 1964a;Rao & Menon, 1963) and the fruit Tricoccites trigonum Rode (1933) have been emended into Cyclanthodendron sahnii Sahni & Surange (1953) on the basis of their organic occurrences (Biradar & Bonde, 1990;Trivedi & Verma, 1978) Comparison with extant Zingiberles Hutchinson (1959) classified Zingiberales (Scitamineae) into six families: Zingiberaceae, Marantaceae, Cannaceae, Musaceae, Strelitziaceae and Lowiaceae on the basis of morphological characters. Nakai (1941) proposed 8 families : Zingiberaceae, Costaceae, Marantaceae, Cannaceae, Musaceae, Heliconiaceae, Strelitziaceae and Lowiaceae.…”

Musostrobocaulon skutchii gen. et sp. nov., a permineralized musaceous inflorescence axis from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Mohgaonkalan, India

Musostrobocaulon skutchii gen. et sp. nov., is a complete inflorescence axis attached with a part of leaf sheath embedded in a chert matrix collected from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Mohgaonkalan, District Chhindwada, Madhya Pradesh, India. It has a cylindrical, 2.2 x 2.5 cm axis having thin cortex and wide vascular region indistinctly divisible into peripheral and central regions. Typical scitaminean or Musa-type of vascular bundles; large air canals bounded by uniseriate diaphragms; articulated laticifers and latex vessels suggest its affinity with Musa L. (Order-Zingiberales: Family-Musaceae).
