Abstract

Two new pollen genera, viz., Collospermumpollis and Densiverrupollenites have been established. The genus Collospermumpollis has been recovered from the Palaeocene sediments of Therria Formation, Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya and seems to have a liliaceous affinity. The genus Densiverrupollenites has been described from the Upper Eocene sediments of the Kopli Formation, Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya. Its botanical affinity is uncertain.
