Extract

In his Illustrations of the Botany of the Himalayan Mountains, published in 1839, Royle figures several important fossil plants from the Burdwan Coalfield of India. These are of especial interest, not only as being the first mention of several of the best known fossil types from the Lower Gondwanas of India, but also as among the earliest descriptions of members of the Glossopteris flora.
