Pollen morphology of some Delphinium L. (Ranunculaceae) taxa in Turkey

This study seeks to explain the pollen morphology of some Delphinum L. {Ranunculaceae) taxa in Turkey. Palynological observations have covered 21 taxa. Pollen morphology of 21 Delphinium L. (Ranunculaceae) taxa has been examined by light microscopy. Pollen grains are 3-colpate; oblate-sphaeroidal, prolate-sphaeroidal, subprolate and prolate, intersubangular or interangular in polar view. Nexine is equal to sexine or thicker than sexine, and ornemantation is micro-echinate. Colpi membrane with many granules. The pollen grains show stenopalynous features. The aim of the article is to obtain palynological data of some Delphinium L. taxa.
