Abstract

The Santonian conifers from Limburg (The Netherlands) described by Kräusel (1922 Mededeelingen van 's Rijks Geologischen Dienst, Serie A, 2, 40) have been revised and combined with those from a coeval flora from a nearby location. The diversity of the flora is increased; new species have been added and others have been reassigned to different genera. Aachenia debeyi is emended on the basis of cuticle data. Comparison with other, regional, Late Cretaceous floras shows a distinct change in species during this period. Compared to the coeval floras of the world, the Santonian flora from Limburg is intermediate between Central European and American floras.
