Abstract

In this study, pollen morphology of Lythrum salicaria L. belonging to the aromatic genus Lythrum (Lythraceae), which has widely medicinal benefits were examined with light microscopy (LM). According to the investigation by light microscope (LM), pollen grains of the species is radially symmetrical, isopolar, oblate-spheroidal, heteroaperturate (3 colpori-3 pseudocolpi) and psilate. In our opinion, the palynological features of the taxon might be helpful to investigate the taxon in various palynological, taxonomical and pharmaceutical researches.
