Abstract

Hedera
helix (Ivy) is an everygreen dioecious wood and liana.
It is one of the best species of Hedera
(Araliaceae). In traditional use, many parts of this plant have been used for
treatment of various diseases. In this study, pollen morphology of H. helix L. belonging to the genus Hedera (Araliaceae) were examined with
light microscopy (LM). According to the investigation by LM, pollen grains of
the species are monad, radially symmetrical, isopolar, tricolporate,
oblate-spheroidal or prolate-spheroidal, colporate, reticulate and rugulate.

In my opinion, the palynological features
of the taxon might be helpful to investigate the taxa various palynological,
taxonomical, melissopalynological and pharmaceutical researches.
