While much attention has been given to animal life in amber, the
remains of a variety of plants, including angiosperm flowers, also
exist in fossilized resin.  Presented here is a
pictorial synopsis of 94 flowers that occur in four major
amber deposits around the world. These deposits are from
Burma (Myanmar), the Baltic area, the Dominican Republic and
Mexico, and range in age from the mid-Cretaceous to the
mid-Tertiary. The basic features of these flowers are
presented and their relationship with existing plant lineages
discussed. This work will be of interest to amber
enthusiasts, plant taxonomists, plant morphologists, plant
ecologists, plant evolutionists and plant paleontologists.Â
