Abstract :
The pollen morphology of two species belonging to the genus Diplotaenia Boiss. have been investigated by SEM and LM. The results confirm the stenopalynous character of the family Apiaceae. The palynological observations reveal that pollen grains of the genus Diplotaenia are prolate in shape and posses tri-colporate aperture with costae. The sculpturing of both species are rugulate.
Therefore D. cachrydifolia and D. damavandica are similar in palynological characters, and show the type of Cerceau-Larrivalʹs classification as sub-rectangular.
