The present investigation was undertaken at the Farm of All India Coordinated Research Project on Under Utilized Crops, Regional Research Station, S.D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar during the year 2002 and 2003. Pollen grains were creamish yellow and sticky. They were Spheroidal or globular in distilled water and acetocarmine with three to four germspores. The mean pollen size in distilled water was 90.5 and 83.5 μm in lower and upper tier of stamen, respectively, while in acetocarmine 82 and 89 μm in upper and lower tier of stamens, respectively. The pollen viability was quite high (95.04 to 98.77%). Maximum pollen germination (35.49%) and pollen tube length (265.19 μ) was recorded in 15 % sucrose solution with 0.005% boric acid.
