Available palaeobotanical data from significant karstic depressions of Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse and Condroz areas (Belgium) are reviewed. Drawing up of about forty stratigraphically significant taxa results in a phytostratigraphy of the continental Neogene supporting correlations with surrounding areas. Meorover, palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic evolution of the studied areas are clarified while the phytostratigraphic framework evidences two major steps in the karst formation.
