Description :
There is advantages in using pollen grains as a valuable source of characters in systematic studies. Fimbristylis and Eleocharis are two important genera of Cyperaceae.In the present study Eight species of Fimbristylis and Three species of Eleocharis have been selected for pollen morphological studies . Pollen grains of Cyperaceae are oblate spheroidal to perprolate in shape, inaperturate to polyporate with opercula or pontopercula on pori or colpi.Apertures occur in all species investigated. Pollen morphological variation within Cyperaceae is considerable.
