Pollen morphology of 7 species belonging to 5 genera of the tribes Euclideae, Hesperideae, Mathioleae, Arabideae and Lepidieae from Brassicaceae family were investigated using light and scanning electron microscope. The study showed that the pollen grains are a stenopalynous have tricolporate to tetracolporate in Anchonium elichrysifolium. The ornamentation is reticulate and the shape is spheroidal in equatorial view and oblate to spheroidal in polar view. The study reported also little differences in quantitative characters between all species studied.
