Abstract
In our present investigation pollen morphology
from six species of angiosperms from South Mumbai was collected and cellular
studies were carried out. In our study, pollen grains of Turnera diffusa (Willd.
ex Schult) of the family Passifloraceae, Vinca rosea (L.) of the family
Apocyanaceae, Ruellia simplex (C. Wright) of the family Acanthaceae, Couroupita
guianenesis (Aubl.) of the family Lecythidaceae, Plumeria rubra (L.)
of the family Apocynaceae and Zephyranthes citrina (Baker) of the family
Amaryllidaceae were studied. Shape of the pollen grains found to be mostly round,
and one obclavate. Sculpture of exine wall was found to be rough, course,
smooth and one perforated type. Aperture of the pollen grains was found to be
tricolporate to multiporate. The S, M and L (small, medium and large) sized
pollen grains were observed in our research.
