“…If the attribution of Schreberoxylon, another fossil from the Deccan Intertrappean Beds, to Oleaceae by Trivedi and Srivastava (1982) is correct, the presumably older Schreberinae (Schrebera and Comoranthus), and sister to [Fraxinus plus Oleinae], would have been sympatric with an early representative of the Oleinae, suggesting an important role of the Indian tectonic plate in the evolution of the olive family.…”

The wood of Oleoxylon deccanense, reported informally in 1981 from the Deccan Intertrappean Beds of central India, is re-examined. We provide a formal diagnosis for the species and a more detailed description. The similarity to wood from species groups of the modern genera Chionanthus and Olea leads us to infer that this fossil taxon probably belongs to the monophyletic drupaceous subtribe Oleinae of the olive family, Oleaceae (Lamiales), although affinities with Rhamnaceae and Rutaceae cannot be wholly excluded. Since the fossil is from a late Maastrichtian-Danian horizon (65–67 MY BP) this would imply that a member of the Oleaceae was part of the flora that inhabited India several million years prior to the tectonic impact of India with Asia. The seemingly modern appearance of this and other Deccan fossil woods is briefly discussed.

“…In 2001, Crawley found a wood with features of Flacourtiaceae and assigned it to Flacourtioxylon Louvet, apparently unaware of Louvet's 1972 reassessment of the affinities of the Libyan wood. To further complicate the usage of this name, Trivedi and Srivastava (1986) published a description of an Indian wood they called Flacourtioxylon mohgaonense gen. nov. Vessel-ray parenchyma pit type was not described for any of these woods called Flacourtioxylon making it difficult to assess their affinities.…”

A fossil wood with features similar to those of the Oligocene Hovenia palaeodulcis Suzuki (Rhamnaceae) from Japan is described from the late Eocene Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Colorado, U.S.A. This is the first report of fossil wood of this Asian genus in North America and is further documentation of Tertiary exchange between East Asia and North America. The affinities of Chadronoxylon florissantensis, the most common angiosperm wood at Florissant, are reevaluated; its combination of features suggests relationships with two families in the Malpighiales, the Salicaceae and Phyllanthaceae. Chadronoxylon is compared with Paraphyllanthoxylon Bailey. The Eocene P. hainanensis from China has notable differences from the original diagnosis of Paraphyllanthoxylon, but shares features with Chadronoxylon warranting transfer of P. hainanensis to Chadronoxylon and the creation of Chadronoxylon hainanensis (Feng, Yi, Jen) Wheeler & Meyer, comb. nov.

“…Affillit ies-The important ana tom ica I characters of present fossil wood are: small to medium, solitary to radial multiple vessels with tyloses, large angular intervessel pits, scanty paratracheal parenchyma, 1-3 (mostly 2) seriate heterogeneous xylem rays and septate fibres. (Ghosh & Roy, 1978), from Assam (Awasthi & Mehrotra, 1993), C. shahpuraensis Trivedi & Srivastava (1985) from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Mandla and Canarium palaeolulonicum Awasthi & Srivastava (1989) from the Tertiary of Kerala Coast. The present fossil wood has been compared with above already known species and it was found that this is identical to Canarioxylon shahpuraensis Trivedi & Srivastava 1985 and therefore it has been placed under the same species.…”

Eight fossil wood species are described from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of Nawargaon, Wardha District, Maharashtra. India. The fossil flora, so far, recovered from the Nawargaon area indicates that tropical evergreen forests with some moist deciduous plants were nourishing around Nawargaon area in Central India during Early Tertiary in contrast to mixed deciduous type of present day forest. The habit and habitat of the modem comparable taxa suggest prevalence of tropical humid climate in the area during Early-Tertiary.
