Some microsporocarps of Azolla intertrappea Sahni & Rao, H. S. and a dicotyledonous root found in a silicified block from the Deccan Intertrappean beds (Eocene) are described. The silicified dicotyledonous root with secondary growth and pentarch primary xylem is referred to a new form genus Dicotylirhizos and put under a new species -D. sahnii.
