Abstract
Pollen of oaks and rosaceous taxa from a little researched part of the world, southwestern Sichuan, China, have been examined. Light microscopy photographs and statistical measurements are presented for deciduous oaks, evergreen oaks, and rosaceous taxa morphologically similar to oak species. The results show that with careful examination of pollen size, sculpture and aperture type, deciduous oaks, evergreen oaks and rosaceous taxa of southwestern Sichuan Province can be reliably separated using light microscopy. The usefulness of this study is not limited to southwestern China but has applications for those working in similar environments where the length of the wet season affects the percentages of deciduous and evergreen oaks in the vegetation.
