Gondwanan flora

Gondwanan flora refers to the plant life that existed on the ancient supercontinent Gondwana, which included parts of present-day Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica, and India. When Gondwana broke apart millions of years ago, these plants evolved separately, resulting in distinct but related types of vegetation on different continents. Studying Gondwanan flora helps scientists understand how plants evolved and dispersed across continents over geological time, illustrating the connection between Earth's ancient landmasses and the diversity of plant life seen today.
