Tabulation of differentiating pollen features in Lorantheae, part 1 (Figure 7).

Subtribe (clade)	Genus	Polarity, aperture	Size, shape, outline in e.v. and p.v.a	Margo	Further exine features (LM, SEM)	Sculpturing
Loranthinae (Clade G)	Loranthus	Can be heteropolar, syn(3)colpate or zono(3)colpate	Small, oblate, elliptic or bean-shaped, straight-triangular	Indistinct	LM: sexine thickened in MC, polar (triradial) nexine thickening SEM: polar area can be thickened	CM: nano-verrucate/-rugulate to granulate MC: micro-verrucate M: smoother than MC
Ileostylinae (Clade H)	Muellerina	Isopolar, syn(3)colpate	Small, (distinctly) oblate, elliptic to slightly emarginated, concave-triangular	Distinct	LM: nexine hexagonally thickened in polar area	CM: nano-verrucate/-echinate MC: nano-echinate/-baculate M: striate to rugulate
Amyeminae (Clade I)	Amyema	Isopolar, syn(3)colpate	Small, distinctly oblate, emarginate, concave-triangular	Distinct, forming small triangular protrusions at pole	LM: nexine hexagonally thickened in polar area SEM: sexine partly reduced in polar area	CM: nano-verrucate to -rugulate or granulate MC: nano-/micro-verrucate or granulate M: micro-verrucate, granulate or psilate
Dendroph-thinae (Clade J)	Dendrophthoe	Isopolar, syn(3)colpate	Small, oblate, elliptic, concave-triangular to trilobate	Distinct		CM: ? MC: nano-verrucate, granulate M: mostly psilate
	Helixanthera	Isopolar, syn(3)colpate	Small, distinctly oblate, emarginate, concave-triangular	Indistinct	LM: nexine with triangular intercolpial thickenings SEM: sexine partly reduced in polar area	CM: nano-rugulate to -verrucate, granulate MC: nano-verrucate M: nano-verrucate, granulate, partly psilate
	Tolypanthus	Isopolar, syn(3)colpate	Medium, oblate, elliptic, straight-triangular to trilobate	Distinct	LM: nexine with triangular intercolpial thickenings	CM, MC: nano-verrucate, granulate M: psilate, partly granulate
Scurullinae	Scurrula, Taxillus	Isopolar, syn(3)colpate	Small (to medium), (distinctly) oblate, elliptic, concave-triangular to trilobate	Distinct, most pronounced at apices, triangular polar protrusions can be present	LM: nexine in polar area (hexagonally) thickened	CM, MC: nano-verrucate to granulate M: Mostly psilate
