Paleobotany - Wikipedia Paleobotany or palaeobotany, also known as paleophytology, is the branch of botany dealing with the recovery and identification of plant fossils from geological contexts, and their use for the biological reconstruction of past environments (paleogeography), and the evolutionary history of plants, with a bearing upon the evolution of life in
Plant - Evolution, Paleobotany, Photosynthesis | Britannica Plant - Evolution, Paleobotany, Photosynthesis: At present, fossil evidence of land plants dates to the Ordovician Period The abundance and diversity of plant fossils increase into the Silurian Period, and by the middle Devonian Period, the heterosporous life cycle, which allows for more rapid evolution, had occurred independently in several
