Abstract:
In the present work, the pollen morphological characters were extensively studied in 17 taxa from genus Ficus (Moraceae), based on examination with light and scanning electron microscopy. The studied taxa represent three subgenera (Ficus, Sycomorus and Urostigma), collected from three Egyptian Botanical Gardens (Orman, Ain-Shams and Zoo-garden). The obtained results of fundamental and evolutionary significance were: pollen size (less than 20 µm), pollen shape (circular or elliptic), pollen class (vary from di- to triporate), and the pollen surface sculpture (psilate or finely scabrate). The dendrogram produced from the cluster analysis of the characters of pollen grains have been discussed, and shed light on the relationships, similarities and dissimilarities between the studied taxa. Pollen data only does not support macromorphological evidence for the identification of Ficus species.
