AB Methods and criteria that were used to identify plant macrofossils from four ombrotrophic mires in northernSpain are presented. Twelve monocotyledon and ten dicotyledon species were recorded. Some were identifiedfrom vegetative or reproductive macroremains (Eriophorum angustifolium, Molinia caerulea, Callunavulgaris, Erica mackaiana, Erica tetralix, Potentilla erecta), while others were recognised only by their fruits(Rhynchospora alba, Carex durieui, Carex echinata, Carex binervis, Carex demissa, Betula alba), seeds(Juncus squarrosus, Juncus bulbosus, Luzula multiflora, Narthecium ossifragum, Drosera rotundifolia,Drosera intermedia, Caltha palustris, Daboecia cantabrica), rhizome fragments with remains of leaves(Agrostis curtisii), or twigs with buds and leaves (Vaccinium myrtillus). Descriptions of the specific distinctivecharacters for the plant macrofossils that were recorded are accompanied by illustrations that facilitate theirinterpretation. Dichotomous identification keys are also provided
