As plants are different from animals, we will use a different system for them. This system is from the old site and is subject to change. Angiospermae: Amborellales: Southern hemisphere including Antarctica Nymphaeales: World wide except Antarctica Austrobaileyales: Asia, North America, and Australia Magnoliids: World wide including Antarctica Chloranthaceae: Australia, Antarctica, and South America Monocotyledons: World wide including Antarctica Ceratophyllum: World wide except Antarctica Lycopodiophyta: Lycopodiaceae: World wide except Antarctica Huperziaceae: World wide except Antarctica Isoetales: World wide except Antarctica Selaginellales: World wide including Antarctica Pteridophyta: Equisetaceae: World wide including Antarctica Marattiopsida: World wide including Antarctica Pteridopsida: Southern hemisphere including Antarctica Pinophyta: Pinaceae: World wide except Antarctica Araucarians: World wide including Antarctica Podocarpaceae: Southern hemisphere including Antarctica Sciadopityaceae: Asia Cupressaceae: World wide except Antarctica Cycadophyta: Cycadaceae: Asia and the Southern hemisphere except Antarctica Stangeriaceae: Southern hemisphere except Antarctica Zamiaceae: Africa, Australia, North America, and South America Ginkgophyta: Ginkgoaceae: world wide Gnetophyta: Gnetales: Southern hemisphere except Antarctica Welwitschiales: Africa Ephedraceae: Africa and Asia Edited by The Dark Phoenix, Apr 12 2016, 12:56 PM.

You might wanna include some Ericales aswell since this group appears to have been quite diversified even in the Cretaceous, and they probably would continue to do so, seeing that Ericales are a really diverse plant order found basically everywhere, from tundras, mountain meadows to deserts, rainforests etc. Infact, many plant families did already exist in the cretaceous: Fabaceae (Legumes and relatives), Fagales (oaks, birks etc) or also Eucalyptus like plants already existed during the Cretaceous. Flowering plants during the cretaceous were not as primitive or poor as one might think. Ofcourse we will have to think about some alternate/fictional families. Just because the ancestors of modern Oaks were succesful in the real world, doesnt mean they have to in this world, might get replaced by Gingkos or other, completly new plant families. I actually think that even without a K/T event, angiosperms would continue to become more and more dominant and largely replace conifers, conifers still will remain dominant in cold temperate ares and high latitudes though.
