Contemporary Problems of Ecology Aims and scope

Abstract

Pollen of 12 species of the genus Spirea L. growing in different regions of Siberia and the Far East was investigated. The ultrasculpture of pollen grains is described. On the basis of aperture morphology and exine sculpture, pollen grains are typified, with key indices given for their identification. The species of the Spiraria section are distinguished by large grains. Pollen grains of S. media and S. alpina considerably vary in size. The level of natural polymorphism of palynological indices has been established.
