Pollen morphology of the family Polygalaceae (Fabales)

Floral morphology and development in Quillajaceae and Surianaceae (Fabales), the species-poor relatives of Leguminosae and Polygalaceae.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Molecular phylogenies have suggested a new circumscription for Fabales to include Leguminosae, Quillajaceae, Surianaceae and Polygalaceae. However, recent attempts to reconstruct the interfamilial relationships of the order have resulted in several alternative hypotheses, including a sister relationship between Quillajaceae and Surianaceae, the two species-poor families of F...

A Contribution to the Pollen Morphology of Family Gramineae

Pollen morphology of 20 species belonging to the 14 genera of the family Gramineae has been investigated using light microscope and scanning microscope. It is a stenopalynous in nature. Pollen grains mostly spheroidal, monoporate rarely diporate, ±circular, pores small operculate, non-operculate, annulate or non-annulate. Tectum areolate to scabrate. On the basis of exine ornamentations 5 disti...
