Abstract
Thirteen Bauhinia species and two varieties have been subjected in this investigation. Pollen morphological characters studied and photographed using both light and scanning electron microscopes. Identification keys, as well as clustering analysis of the studied taxa according to the pollen characters have been done. This study reveals that the pollen grains of Bauhinia species have variable pollen morphological features, with a very wide range of characters such as different dispersal, polarity, symmetry, shape, variable exine ornamentation, different type and number of apertures. Postulation of the evolutionary line within the studied species has been mentioned. These variations confirm the eurypalynous status of the genus.
