Abstract

Pollen grain characters of 78 populations belonging to 29 taxa of genus Scrophularia L. from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands were studied using a light and scanning electron microscopy, all of them showing a remarkable uniformity. Although the shape and size of the pollen grains in the genus are not in general important from the taxonomic point of view, however the density of the reticulum is very useful in the segregation of taxa of sections Scrophularia and Canina G.Don present in the area of study.
