Paleobotany is a branch of botany that studies fossil plants, their classification, and evolution. Synonyms for the word paleobotany include palaeophytology, fossil botany, and paleophytogeography. Palaeophytology is similarly used to describe the scientific study of fossil plants, while fossil botany, as the name indicates, focuses on the examination of plant fossils.
