Taxonomic revision of the collections of plant macrofossils from some localities of Poland now referred to the Vistulian Glaciation.

Summary: The paper presents results of a taxonomic revision of the collections of plant macrofossils from ten Polish localities now referred to the Vistulian Glaciation. All these collections are housed at the Palaeobotanical Museum of the Władysław Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków. The results of the revision are presented in tables comparing the checklist of taxa given in papers published by the former authors and new ones introduced after the revision. Descriptions and photographs of some remains newly determined after the revision are also given, as are some remarks concerning the stratigraphical position of the re-examined floras and comments on the relationships and correlations between the macrofossil floras of Poland and those of Belarus and some other eastern countries.
