Abstract
The data presented constitute the longest historical series of results obtained in Seville with a Hirst-type sampler, and are a further contribution to earlier aerobiological studies carried out in the city with a Cour trap. This work supplies an updated pollen calendar of the city, together with pollen counts and other aerobiological parameters for the 14 most important types in the 4-year period of sampling. These werePlatanus hispanica, Olea europaea, Quercus, Cupressaceae, Poaceae, Urticaceae, Moraceae, Chenopodiaceae/ Amaranthaceae,Plantago, Pinaceae,Rumex, Myrtaceae, Compositae, andCasuarina.
