Abstract

The article includes the
palynomorphological study of the main members of family Amaryllidaceae in Albania. In this article submitted comparative
features of the genus: Acis, Leucojum,
Narcissus, Sternbergia. The material for the study was
obtained in National Herbarium in Tirana. For the study of palynomorphological
features are analyzed 31 pollen grains from each species. The treatment of
material is made with acetolysis method and basic fuchsine. The fixing of
pollen grains is made with glycerin gelatin. The study and photos of pollen
grains are realized with light microscope with 1000x power. The
pollen grains of
plants above are oblate ellipsoid or oblate spheroidal, isopolare, monosulcate. The exine
appears thick and has two-layers. The sculpture of exine is microreticulate, tectate-
punctuate, foveolate. The palynomorphological study of these
representatives is given for the first time in the literature of palynology.
