Summary
Pollen grains of five species ofTamarix in seriesVaginantes were examined with light and electron scanning microscopes. Descriptions and a key to species are provided. This palynological data supports the taxonomy of seriesVaginantes. Relationships between pollen morphology, taxonomy and distribution in this series are discussed.
