Catálogo sistemático dos pólens das plantas arbóreas do Brasil meridional: VI - Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae

[摘要] In the present paper of our Catalogue of South Brazilian Arboreal Pollen grains, we have examined the subfamily Caesalpinioideae from the Leguminosae. The Papilionatae were already studied in an earlier paper, the corresponding study of the Mimosoideae will follow soon; in consequence of this, we can not yet compare the pollen grains of the three named subfamilies, on with another. The grains of the examined species were classified in correspondance with the taxonomical groups. We found that the Bauhinieaes constitute an eurypalynous group, but the Cassieae is stenopalynous, and the two species from the Eucaesalpinioideae possess also different forms of pollen grains. From the other groups, Cynometreae and Swartzieae were examined, infortunately only one species fromeach one. Like the facts observed in the Papilionatae, we find here also the typical form of pollen grains, characterized by three colpori and a fine reticulated superficial structure.
