Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study of recent and fossil (e.g. Fagaceae) floras from the temperate zones of North America and Primorye. U.S.S.R. The results showed fossil oaks from Primorye to be closely related to Asian and American species. At the same time, the former displayed some outward resemblance with European species on account of convergence.
