As a result, four types of the pollen exine sculpture are distinguished: (1) foveolate, D. cochinchinensis and D. menglaensis; (2) regulate, D. cambodiana and D. terniflora; (3) reticulate, D. gracilis, D. angustifolia and D. ensifolia; (4) tuberculate-baculate, D. hokouensis. The differences in pollen morphology of Chinese Dracaena can serve as characters for delimitating species.Read More
