Abstract

Pollen morphology of Gypsophila laricina L. were investigated using light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Pollen morphology features this taxon was determined based on palynological studies. Pollen grains are spheroidal and periporate. The exine structure is intectate The exine sculpture is clavatemicroechinate ornamentation. The operculum exists in the form as a whole in this taxon. The exine consists of 2 parts; the upper part is the thick ectexine and the lower part is the thin endexine. The endexine is thin and continuous

Keywords
