Abstract

In this study, comparative palynological characteristics and allergic features of the Salix taxa from Meşelik and Yunus Emre campuses, Eskişehir/Turkey were investigated. Detailed palynomorphological investigation of the pollen grains of Salix taxa were carried out under Light Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It was revealed that the pollen grains of investigated taxa were the tricolpatae type and spheroidal shaped. Exine was seen to be tectatae-reticulatae ornamentation. Comparisons which will be made with the collected species and other taxa within the family will make contribution to taxonomy for family.
