Pollen Morphology of Indian Species of Saraca L. (Leguminosae)-A Threatened and Legendary Medicinal Tree

Abstract: The genus Saraca L. (Leguminosae) is a universal panacea in herbal medicine. The present study investigates the comparative pollen morphology of four species of Saraca viz. S. asoca (Roxb.) de Wilde, S. declinata (Jack) Miq., S. indica L., and S. thaipingensis Cantley ex Prain growing in India to reveal differences of their pollen structures to aid taxonomic and evolutionary values. The detailed morphology and surface structure of pollen grains were studied and described using light microscopy and scanning ele… Show more

“…The morphological differences between S. asoca and S. indica are less pronounced than molecular differences. The morphological approach (Begum et al 2014) and the palynological approach (Sil et al 2019) have a sufficient though limited ability to identify different species. Molecular barcoding using the matK gene marker is, therefore, best suited for proper identification.…”

“…The sub-clade Amherstieae of the family Fabaceae (LPWG 2017) has a number of both medicinally and horticulturally important species. This tribe contains different species of Saraca along with other two genera, Endertia and Lysidice, based on the nature of their habitats (Estrella et al 2017), the number and nature of their stamen (Estrella et al 2018), and the ornamentations on their pollen grains (Sil et al 2019). The evaluation of phylogenetic relationships among different taxa of tribe Detarieae and three species of Saraca was done by Saha et al (2013).…”
