Description

Angelika Till and co-authors give the first full electron microscope study of pollen from the plant genus Pseudanthus, in a 2025 paper. Fine structure of this pollen was little known. The team set out to describe it in detail and to compare it within and across related families.

Pollen was taken from open flowers and prepared by standard methods. The authors map traits that vary within a species, between species, and between families. They also judge whether this pollen could be recognized in the fossil record. The study gives palynologists a reference for a poorly charted group.
