A well preserved dicot wood was collected from Bhutera near Chindwara M.P. The wood is dicotyledonous, diffuse porous, vessels mostly solitary and in radial multiples of two. Perforation plate simple. Intervascular pit pairs alternate, bordered, parenchyma paratracheal, vascicentric, wood rays mostly multiseriate and composed of heterogeneous cells, uniseriate rays mostly homogenous. Fiberes short, thin walled, nonseptate. The wood though shows some characters of the present day families like Lecythidaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Connaraceae, Flacaurtiaceae Lethraceae and Meliaceae. It has close affinities with the members of the family Meliaceae and genus Melia . It could not conclusively be traced to any particular genus but it broadly placed under the genus Meli
