| Abstract: | This paper deals with the production of pollen grains per anther per flower of 15 probably allergenic pollen producing angiospermic
plant taxa growing in Eastern India. The selected plant taxa includesAilanthus excelsa, Alstonia scholaris, Argemone mexicana, Azadirachta indica, Cassia alata, C. siamea, Dalbergia sissoo, Holarrhena
pubescens, Lagerstroemia speciosa, Madhuca indica, Milletia pinnata, Mimusops elengi, Morus alba, M. indica andMurraya paniculata. Among the investigated taxa,A. excelsa produces the highest number of pollen grains (1635180) followed byC. siamea (1589245) andA. mexicana (463800). The production of pollen grains is lowest inH. pubescens (2500), followed byA. scholaris (5175),A. indica (6220) andM. paniculata (11200). |
