Open full text 4 citations

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.
