Abstract
The fossil chert were collected from Mohgaonkalan M.P. India, a well-known rich fossiliferous locality. Seed small, dicotyledonous, ovate, anatropus, bitegmic, testa thick with longitudinal, elongated fibres, multiplicative, tegmen thin, exarillate, albuminous. The seed is compared with the living and reported fossils but it shows close resemblances with seed of Annonaceae. The elongation of cells into fibres is the original character of Annonaceous seed. Few minor characters are different. Hence the present fossil seed name as Sahniospermum trapii. The generic name is after the great eminent palaeobotanist Dr. Birbal Sahni, Sahniospermum and specific name is after Deccan Trap.
