16. Plantae

The following enumeration contains the fossil plants, found not only in the Dutch territory, but also in the adjacent countries, the Malay Peninsula, British Borneo, Portuguese Timor and the Eastern part of New Guinea. The Philippine islands have not been considered. The classification used, is from Engler and Prantl, as given in the „Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien” and the „Syllabus” of the former author. The species of flowering plants are placed in alphabetical order in the families; the species in the other classes have been arranged in larger groups. Only in some cases, still living plants were mentioned in the literature under obsolete names; in this case the fossils have been given their present names. Of the recent plants the present distribution is indicated. If a fossil was at first placed in another group, the oldest name is also given in its own place.
