Examined the pollen morphology of 5 species of Butea Roxb. ex Willd. (s.l.) from India. The pollen grains are 3-zonocolporate and prolate spheroidal in all the species, however, three exine morphotypes have been recognised. The taxonomic status of the genus is discussed and the seggetation of sections Meizotropis and Spatholobus from Butea is supported.

Abstract


Examined the pollen morphology of 5 species of Butea Roxb. ex Willd. (s.l.) from India. The pollen grains are 3-zonocolporate and prolate spheroidal in all the species, however, three exine morphotypes have been recognised. The taxonomic status of the genus is discussed and the seggetation of sections Meizotropis and Spatholobus from Butea is supported.
