Pollen grains are usually radially symmetrical, isopolar sub-prolate to prolate, or prolate-spheroidal rarely oblate-spheroidal, tricolpate rarely 4-8 colpate. Sexine thinner or thicker than nexine. Tectum fine to coarsely reticulate with more or less regular pattern of muri or reticulate – rugulate. On the basis of tectal surface four distinct pollen types are recognized viz., Arabis bijuga-type, Farsetia ramosissimatype, Draba lanceolata –type and Erysimum melicentae – type.Read More
