ABSTRACT
Pollen morphology of
24 species of Vatica L. had been investigated using
light and scanning electron microscopes. Vatica is a stenopalynous
genus, the pollens are radially symmetrical, isopolar, subprolate to suboblate
sometimes prolate rarely oblate, all tricolpate. Exine ornamentation varies
from thin to medium reticulate. On the basis of pollen shape two groups of Vatica have been recognized. Within the genus pollen diversity is valuable for
identification and delimiting species.

ABSTRAK
Morfologi debunga 24
spesies Vatica L. telah dikaji dengan menggunakan mikroskop cahaya dan
imbasan elektron. Vatica ialah genus stenodebunga, debunga adalah
bersimetri jejari, isokutub, subprolat hingga suboblat, kadang-kadang prolat
jarang oblat, semua trikolpat. Hiasan eksin bervariasi daripada retikulat nipis
hingga sederhana. Bentuk debunga dua kumpulan Vatica telah dikenal
pasti. Adalah penting dalam genus kepelbagaian debunga untuk pengecaman dan
penghadan sempadan spesies.
