Abstract

Plant impressions of Kamthi Formation of Maharashtra were collected from Nagpur and Chandrapur districts. They belong to Gymnosperms and Pteridophytes. Several species of Glossopteris leaves were collected from different localities. One of the specimens is a female fructification attached to Glossopteris leaf. It is Cistella type fructification and devoid of cuticle. It agrees with the characters of Plumstedia ovata (Surange and Chandra) Rigby. It is an addition to the Kamthi Flora of Maharashtra.
