Pollenatlas

Dieser POLLENATLAS enthält derzeit bereits über 90 verschiedene Pollentafeln mit Bildern und Beschreibungen der Pollen, die öfters in Luftproben anzutreffen sind.

Autorenschaft: Der Pollenatlas wurde von Edith Bucher und Veronika Kofler (Biologisches Labor der Landesagentur für Umwelt, Bozen) erstellt, ausgearbeitet und zur Verfügung gestellt.

    description:
    outline:     in polar view circular or insinuated hexagonal, side view elliptical.
    size: polar axis: 22.3 (20.8-25.7) µm, equatorial axis: 24.7 (23.7-25.7) µm.
    apertures: tri-zono-colp(or)ate with narrow colpi.
    pollen wall: thin, scabrate exine. Thin intine, often convex thickened underneath the colpi.
    additional attribute: granulous plasma
    note: similar pollen: other Quercus-species

    remarks to the plant:
    The evergreen Holm Oak is a characteristic tree of the Mediterranean Macchia. Unlike most of the other Quercus species, the leaves are not lobed - some of the leaves are spiny - hence its specific name, derived from the Latin name of the holly. Flowering time is April/May. Male staminate flowers are elongated catkins, the females are long-stalked and stand single or in small groups.

    description:
    outline:     in polar view rounded triangular, side view elliptical.
    size: polar axis: 28.2 (26-30) µm, equatorial axis: 34.0 (32-37) µm.
    apertures: tricolpate with acute, short, narrow, partly protruding colpi.
    pollen wall: thin, scabrate to verrucate exine. Thin intine, thickened underneath the colpi, protruding.
    note: similar pollen: other Quercus-species

    remarks to the plant:
    White oak is a Mediterranean species, growing on dry, stony slopes where it often forms characteristic societies of bright woods with shrubs. Obovate to elliptic, but very various leaves with mostly 4 lobes on every side stand on hairy twigs. Lamina are dark-green above, glabrous, but pale-green and tomentose beneath. Flowering time is April/May. Male flowers sit in thin, drooping catkins. Fruits in 2-5 clusters, acorns egg-shaped.
