Pollen and Seed Micromorphology of the some Erodium L’Herit (Geraniaceae) Species in Hatay Province

Abstract

In this study, pollen and seed micromorphology of 7 naturally distrubuted Erodium species (E. acaule, E. amanum, E. botrys, E. cucitarium, E. gruinum, E. malacoides and E. moschatum) in Hatay Province (Turkey) have been studied. Palynological analysis showed that pollen grains were generally medium, spheroidal and spheroidal subprolate, radially symmetrical, tricolporate and reticulate-clavate ornamentation. The seed characters were found ovate-eliptic and oblanceolate in shape, with rugose-foveate, reticulate-foveate and bireticulate-foveate ornamentation. The results demonstrated that characters such as pollen size, pollen shape, seed size, seed shape, seed surface ornamentation and seed cell pattern were found important and useful for the identification of Erodium species investigated.
