   The University of California has several web sites on this, and I would start with the following:

   http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/plants/plantae.html

   From there you can move on to the following pages (and lots more):

   "Plantae: Systematics" (http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/plants/plantaesy.html) Systematics are evolutionary trees - kind of like an evolutionary road map or family trees.

   The "Web Geological Time Machine" (http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/help/timeform.html) is an interactive time line. By clicking on the specific era, you are taken to a page with good information about the plant life of that age, as well as geological information.

   The Tree of Life Project can be found at (http://tolweb.org/tree/phylogeny.html ). Its pages are linked together much like a systematic; that is, they are heirarchical going from the broader groups and moving out to individual branches of species.
   

   Plants, specifically, can be found under Eukaryota, organisms with cells that have a nucleus.

   While I have not specifically found a "time line," this information is easily found on the web sites mentioned.

   Thanks. But i was kind of looking for information on the major events of the evolution of plants. Stuff like how plants evolved, and how many years ago it occured. I had to complete a timeline for the evolution of animals which i had no problem with but it's the plants that have brought me to a standstill. Even if i find any sites, they are simply to hard to understand.

   Here is a link below that will give you a very clear picture of the evolutionary development of the major plant groups and a time line.
