Abstract

Genus Cassytha (Lauraceae) is characterized by unigue Pollen morphology. We Prepared strains of C. filiformis following acetolysis method (Ikuse, 1956) for observation under Light Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope. The present study revealed that the lamellar and scbrate nature of exine are entirely different and attributing to different morphology of pollen grains, especially the shape. This communication provides a comparison of pollen morphology between Indian and South African species filiformis discriminates the morphological variations found among the Indian specimens of C. filiformis from that of South African region.
