In this paper, the changes of floras between the Pliocene and Pleistocene are considered through the evidences, that are recognized in the plant fossils from the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene sedimentaries, Those sedimentaries are developed in Western Carpathians and Dutch-Prussian border of Central Europe and Osaka, Niigata and Aizu areas of Japan.
The changes of floras gradually progressed as a whole in each area, but some phases that made rapid change of flora were inserted. Those changes are characterized by the disappearance of numerous extinct and exotic elements and the first appearance of the authochtonous and boreal elements.
