Abstract
Pollen morphology of Notopora schomburgkii Hook. f. was examined using light (LM), scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Pollenkitt ropes were observed, and are reported for the first time on pollen grains of N. schomburgkii, Ericaceae. With TEM these ropes show lipidic ("pollenkitt-like") electron density but also show some resistance to acetolysis.
