Pollen morphology inLinum sect.Macrantholinum

Plant Systematics and Evolution Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Pollen of the two distylous species which make upLinum sect.Macrantholinum differs from that of other distylous species in the genus in being multiporate and in having much more modest differences in exine sculpturing between grains from long- and short-styled plants. Pollen morphology does not help in relating the two species to others in the genus but does support their retention in a separate section.
