Pollen of studied taxa have between 16.54-77.2 µm in polar axis and 16.10-73.9 µm in equatorial axis. The biggest pollen was found in Scabiosa argentea and the smallest one was found in Bupleurum rotundifolium. Pollen shapes of studied taxa are generally prolate-spheroidal but also they were found in subprolate and prolate shape. In Fumaria, Diplotaxis and Echinophora genera only suboblate, oblate-spheroidal and perprolate pollen shape were identified. Aperture type was usually tricolpate or tricolporate in studied pollen taxa, it was generally observed reticulate ornamentation in exine sculpturing. Exine thickness and intine thickness were varied between 0.7-6.1 µm, 0.4-1.9 µm, respectively}, number={1}, publisher={Selcuk University}
