Pollen grains of 20 species belonging to 7 genera of Polygonaceae represented in the Flora were studied using Light and Scanning Electron Microscope. Pollen characters, including those of size, shape, exine sculpture and structure of the aperture allowed the recognition of five pollen types: Atraphaxixs, Calligonum-Oxygonum, Persicaria, Polygonum and Rumex-Emex types. A key for the seperation of the different types is provided and the pollen morphology in relation to taxonomy of the investigated taxa is briefly discussed.
