A review of Mesozoic floras and palaeofloristic zones based on macrofossil remains is presented and summarized in the form of four maps. The palaeofloristic region of the Mesozoic are discussed and plant distribution indicated in an attempt to demonstrate some latitudinal and or climatic zonation of the floras when plotted on the symposium maps. The results show the difficulties encountered and the need for further research.
