Abstract
Pollen morphology of 45 species representing 11 genera of the tribe Anthemidae: Compositae from Pakistan and Kashmir have been examined by light and scanning microscopes. The Anthemideae:Compositae is more or less stenopalynous tribe. However, Pollen morphology of the tribe is significantly helpful at the specific level. Pollen grains are generally radially symmetrical, isopolar, Oblate – spheroidal to prolate-spheroidal, rarely prolate to sub-prolate. Aperture tricolporate. Tectum commonly spinulose few species have non-echinate pollen On the basis of tectum two distinct pollen type are recognized . Type –I: spinulose pollen and Type – II. Non spinulose pollen.
