analyses have added new dimensions to the interpretation <strong>of</strong> Siwalik palyn<strong>of</strong>lora in the<br />
Indian subcontinent.<br />
Critical morphotaxonomic analysis <strong>of</strong> Hyphomycetes fungi recovered from<br />
Siwalik succession <strong>of</strong> India and Nepal was carried out.<br />
