The greatest number of the Paleozoic and the Mesozoic sites with macroflora is situated in Eastern Serbia. The best-represented ages are the Upper Devonian, Stephanian and Rhaeto-Lias (Triassic-Jurassic), while the Westphalian, Upper Triassic and Cretaceous were less well preserved. This paper includes an overview of the published sites with macroflora, as well as the list of recorded genera and species, with special weight given to presence of certain taxa and general characteristics of listed paleovegetations. Thanks to the remains of plants from all periods from the Devonian to the Late Cretaceous, it was possible to follow the main development phases of vegetation through the Paleozoic and the Mesozoic in Serbia. The development of vegetation is the easiest to follow during the Stephanian and during the Rhaeto-Lias, as these periods have yielded most macro- -remains. The richest sites of Stephanian vegetation are from area between the rivers Mlava and Pek, while the richest sites of the Rhaeto-Lias vegetation are in Vrška Čuka (Stara Planina). The remains of the Devonian plants are also abundant, particularly in Svrljiške planine Mts., but they are mostly fragmented, uniform and difficult to determine. The Cretaceous flora was recorded at several localities in the vicinity of Belgrade and Knjaževac. It is the least studied of all the described floras. The Triassic flora has the poorest distribution and so far only one site was recorded at Stara Planina Mt.
