The paper discusses the antiquity of some of the important plant genera found in India, namely Artocarpus J. R. & G. Forst., Cinnamomum Schaeffer, Cocos Linn., Dipterocarpus Gaertn., Emblica Gaertn., Mangifera Linn., Musa Linn., Pandanus L. f. ex Stickman, Sonneratia Linn. and Syzygium Gaertn., on the basis of their fossil records. It is recommended that the vast amount of fossil evidences available should be taken into account in tracing the history of Indian flora and its phytogeography.
