Taxonomy: Angiospermae, Malpighiales, Passifloraceae, Passiflora

Links: http://Passiflora suberosa | Plants of the World Online | Kew Science, http://conosur.floraargentina.edu.ar/species/details/3980

Annotations: Passiflora suberosa L. is a 6-colporate pollen grain, with six opercula on six individual endoapertures and six mesocolpia, corroborated by the results of Araujo et al. (2020) and references cited therein (Dettke & Santos, 2009; Evaldt et al., 2011; Borges & Milward-de-Azevedo, 2017), and di Pasquo et al. (2022, 2024).

Annotations: 6-colporate pollen grain, with six opercula on six individual endoapertures and six mesocolpia, corroborated by the results of Araujo et al. (2020) and references cited therein (Dettke & Santos, 2009; Evaldt et al., 2011; Borges & Milward-de-Azevedo, 2017), and di Pasquo et al. (2022, 2024). Pictures taken under scanning electron microscope (Phenom-ProX, low vacuum, without metallization) at the EMLAB (CICYTTP-CONICET-ER-UADER) by José Vilá and M. Di Pasquo (MDP). The remaining pictures of plant and pollen were taken under stereomicroscope (Leica EC3, video camera Leica 3 MP), optic microscopes (Nikon E200, Leica DM500, fluorescent device, fluorescein filter c. 450 nm, AmScope 14 Mp vídeo camera) by MDP at the Lab. Palynostratigraphy and Paleobotany (CICYTTP).
