we examined the fossil record of extinct plant taxa in Europe persisting in East Asia; we provided new data about the minimum mean annual temperature tolerated by living East Asian plants; we showed that the "humid thermophilous plant taxa of East Asian affinity" (HUTEA) have an early Pleistocene record in southern Europe; our fruit and seed data testify for a stepwise mass extinction of terrestrial plants in southern Europe from 4 to 0.5 Ma; two main collective disappearance events coincide with well-known intervals of major climatic deterioration: 2.7-2.4 Ma and 0.9-0.8 Ma.
