Abstract
During the Lower Carboniferous, the flora of the North and South Hemispheres was more or less similar. By the Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian, there was a completely different flora in South America, much of the southern part of Africa, Australia, the Indian Peninsula, Antarctica, New Zealand and other smaller land masses. These regions together formed the supposed continent of Gondwanaland, separated by the Tethys Sea from the other continent of the Northern Hemisphere.
