The paper describes a fossil wood of Fabaceae, Hopeoxylon assamicum Lalitha and Prakash from the Tertiary deposits of Burdwan District, West Bengal. Xylotomical features of the fossil wood closely resemble the wood anatomy of extant genus Sindora Miq. This is the first record of the occurrence of Sindora from the Tertiary of West Bengal. Distribution of Sindora in different parts of India during Tertiary is also discussed.
