Abstract

The fossil i.e. Leaves impression of Calophyllum siwalicus and Kayea miofloribunda (Clusiaceae) were collected from the Siwalik Sediments (Formation-II) near Darranga and Lakshmi river section in Bhutan for detailed systemic study. These fossil leaves have been identified with modern angiospermous taxa up to specific level. The habit, habitat and present day distribution of the comparable extant taxa indicates the existence of tropical to sub-tropical evergreen to semi evergreen forest with humid climate in the area during the deposition of the Siwalik sediments.
