ABSTRACT The paper describes deals with the further investigation of a contribution to the knowledge of a Sahanianthus flower cut in longitudinal section. The 3 flower specimens described here was collected from well known locality Mohgaonkalan, and other such as Keria and Paladaun near Mohgaonkalan, Chhindwara Dist. M.P., India. Flower is pedicellate, bisexual, actinomorphic, heterostylous, hypogynous. It is observed that the three longitudinal specimens described here are varying 5.5 mm to 8 mm in length and 1.5 mm to 2.75 mm in breadth. Gynoecium total length 4.4 mm in long styled flower and 1.6 mm in short styled flower. Ovary superior. The present flowers show important common characters shared by Sahnianthus parijai. it has bracts & bracteoles whereas these structures are not observed in present flowers. Sahnianthus parijai has nectary at the base of ovary which is not observed in present flower. The described 3 specimens collectively give an idea of the different parts of the same flower. All the specimens are well preserved, and similar to Sahanianthus parijai but exhibits some new characters & hence it is studied out and considered for further study. Superior ovary raised on a stalk, the no. of stamens (much less than Sonneratiaceae) are taken into account it is evident that Sahnianthus represents a flower of Lytheraceae. The existence of flower shows the palaeoecological evidence during Maastrichtian
