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.
