Abstract
Threadlike structures were observed on many pollen grains of Jacqueshuberia amplifoliola, J. purpurea, and J. quinquangulata of the Leguminosae/Caesalpinioideae. Each end was attached to the highly reticulate polar exine surface of different grains. The consistency of this observation, hence, the absence of free thread ends, is interpreted to mean that they should be considered as either exine bridges or exinial connections rather than viscin threads, although, most likely functionally homologous to viscin threads. Other significant morphological characters were the tricolporate apertures and strikingly lamellate foot layer and endexine.
