PALYNOLOGY IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA

Download pdf | Full Screen View

Date Issued:
1986
Summary:
The insular nature of southern Florida's floristic community and unique contact with tropical systems have produced plant communities that are exceptional to the continent. This uniqueness provides an ideal situation for a localized palynological study. Pollen from seventy-five species of angiosperms, each representing a family extant in southern Florida, is analyzed morphologically and systematically to provide information for related studies. Families are selected on the basis of phylogenetic or economic importance, or uniqueness of occurrence on this continent.
