Figure 5.

Pollen of Elytrantheae, an Australasian-East Asian Loranthaceae lineage. Pollen images (polar views) are mapped on the corresponding part of the bipartition network shown in Figure 3; Clades A and B according Vidal-Russell and Nickrent (2008b) are indicated. Diagnostic features are highlighted: (a) distinct micro-echinate mesocolpium, becoming micro-verrucate (a′) in Macrosolen and rugulate in Alepis (a″); (b) the partly or fully (Alepis) striate margo, forming triangular polar protrusions (c), weakly developed in Macrosolen (c′); and (d) demisyncolpate apertures found only in Amylotheca.
