Handappa is situated in Dhenkanal district of Orissa, India which is a part of lower Gondwana and exhibits a wide range of vegetational remains of Carboniferous-Permian periods, showing luxuriant palaeobiodiversity. The floral remains of this area consist of wood, leaves, and fructifications. Hitherto only 105 different forms of plant parts including leaves, stems, scale leaves, fructifications, and some dispersed seeds are known from the Talchir coalfields of Handappa. The fructifications are of both male as well as female types. All these forms belong to Glossopteridales, Cycadales and Ginkgoales, which are beautifully preserved as impressions with their surface details. Besides, there occur some detached dispersed sporangia, seeds, and leaf forms in that forest which confirm the existence of different groups of Pteridophytes (lycophyta, arthrophyta and filicophyta) and Gymnosperms (Pteridospermophyta, Cycadophyta and Ginkgophyta etc.).
