| Abstract: | The pollen morphology of 33 species (19 genera) of Bignoniaceae native to the south Brazilian Atlantic forest was examined using light- and scanning electron microscopy. The following pollen types were established: 1. inaperturate (Adenocalymma, Clytostoma and Pithecoctenium) 2. triaperturate (A) psilate (Jacaranda) (B) microreticulate (Arrabidaea, Fridericia, Lundia, Macfadyena, Melloa, Paragonia, Schlegelia and Tynnanthus) (C) reticulate (Cybistax, Pyrostegia and Tabebuia), 3. stephanocolpate (Amphilophium, Anemopaegma and Urbanolophium), 4. perisyncolpate (Mansoa). |
