A contribution to the knowledge of honeys from Extremadura (Spain). 39 honey samples from the region of Extremadura (Spain) were analyzed, in which 90 morphological types of pollen were recognized. Eighteen honey samples showed a mixed floral origin while the remaining came from Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Lavandula stoechas Rosmarinus officinalis, Echium plantagineum and Retama sp.-Cytisus sp. type. The quantitative analysis showed that most of the samples contained from 100.000 to 500.000 pollen grains per 10 g. of honey. The high level of pollen in the samples from polliniferous plants is discussed.
