POLLEN FLORA OF PAKISTAN–LXVI: ANACARDIACEAE
Journal Title: Pakistan Journal of Botany - Year 2010, Vol 42, Issue 3
Abstract
Pollen morphology of 7 species of the family Anacardiaceae belonging to 3 genera viz., Cotinus Miller, Pistacia L. and Rhus L., has been investigated using light and scanning electron microscope. Pollen grains are usually radially symmetrical, isopolar, sub-prolate to prolate-spheroidal rarely oblate-spheroidal, tricolporate rarely porate. Tectum striate (coarse-fine), reticulate-rugulate with spinulose. On the basis of exine ornamentation 3 distinct pollen types have been recognized viz., Cotinus coggyria-type, Rhus javanica-type and Pistacia chinensis-type.
