Abstract

A dichotomized rhizome fragment comparable to that of Nypa fruticans
Wurmb, but much smaller in size, is reported from the Late Middle
Eocene Camp White Layer which represents a prominent mangrove root
horizon at the top of Gehannam Formation in Wadi Hitan, west of the
Fayum Depression. Botanical and palaeobotanical illustrations and
comments are given and suggestions made.
