Abstract:
Pollen morphology of 10 species and 3 varieties of yellow camellias from Guangxi has been examined under SEM.Three basic sculpes were defined. (1)viz., ornate(
C.chrysantha,
C.chrysantha var.microcarpa,
C. tunghinensis,
C.wumingensis, and C.sp.); (2)perforate(
C.ptilosperma,
C.chrysantha var.,and
C.pubipetala), and (3)rugulate (
C. euphlebia,
C. microantha,
C.pingguoensis,
C.longgangensis, and C.sp.) Morphological divergence occurs between all species and varieties observed in respect to pollen characterictics.
