Abstract	The recent growth and development of Palynology have clearly demonstrated that palynological fossils can be successfully userl in determin ing palaeoenvironments. The present day distribution of plants shows that certain environments arecharacterized by particular plant communities peculiar to them. This is also broadly reflected in the general corresponclance between the vegetational units and the climatic zones of the worlel. The environmental conditions under which thefossil plants lived are interpreted from the habitats under which their modern equivalents live. Some of the palaeoenvironments indicated by palynological fossils are - (1) basin of deposition; (2) sea-land level changes; (3) ancient shore lines;(4) distance from land; (5) source or direction of plants; (6) climatic changes and seasonal variations; (7) orogeny; (8) migration o( plants; (9) minor changes in topography, stream patterns; (10) biotic factors etc. Palynological evidencesindicating palaeoenvironments during Quaternary,m Tertiarv, Mesozoic and Palaeozoic Eras of India have been brought forth.
