Under the roof of geology, palaeontology is a strong branch within which the discipline of palaeobotany has been established. This discipline encompasses the evolution and differentiation of plant families and species. The term was also initially applied to the study of the development stages of the modern flora and vegetation and is still sometimes used in that way. For better clarification, however, it should strictly be used only for pre-Quaternary times, where it mainly includes the botanical investigation of the Tertiary. Instead the term Quaternary Botany might be used. The term vegetation history has now become widely accepted for the chronological development of the modern flora and vegetation.
