The black, fossiliferous chert was collected from Mohgaon Kalan in the Deccan Intertrappean Beds of Chhindwara district (Lat. 22.015027 N, Long. 79.186717 E). With the help of the cellulose acetate peel technique, consecutive peels were taken. The leaf was studied from peel sections. It is a dicotyledonous, dorsiventral (bifacial) leaf with a prominent midrib. From this site of Intertrappean beds, several petrified and imprinted impressions of dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous leaves have been discovered and described by multiple authors. However, only a few leaf petrification is reported from the DIB of Mohagaon Kalan, for example- Acanthophyllum shiblii, Deccanophyllum intertrappea, Julianiophyllum sahnii, Corokiophyllum mohgaonkalanites, Salicaceophyllum mohgaoensis, Dorsiventrophyllum chitaleyii, Aerophyllites intertrappea, etc. Upon comparing the specimen with the leaves of modern families, along with the reported fossil leaves, it exhibits a remarkable resemblance to the modern genus Peperomia of the family Piperaceae; however, it does not show much similarity with any dicot fossil leaf that has been investigated so far from the DIB of Mohagaon Kalan. Due to some unclear identification, the assigned genus Peperomia is somewhat ambiguous; therefore, it is named as Peperomiaophylites mohgaonensis gen. et sp. nov., forming a new genus. The specific name is derived from the fossiliferous locality of Mohgaon Kalan.
