Table IX.

Tabulation of differentiating pollen features in Lorantheae, part 2: Emelianthinae (subclade of Clade J, Figure 8).

Subtribe, genus	Polarity, aperture	Size, shape, outline in e.v. and p.v.a	Equatorial apices	Margo	Further exine features (LM, SEM)	Sculpturing
Erianthemum	Isopolar, syn(3)colpate	Small to medium, distinctly oblate, slightly emarginate, concave-triangular	Obcordate	Distinct, broadening at equator, sometime with small triangular protrusions at pole	LM: nexine with triangular intercolpial thickenings	CM: nano-verrucate to granulate MC: nano-verrucate M: psilate, partly nano-verrucate to granulate
Globimetula	Isopolar, syn(3)colpate	Medium, distinctly oblate, emarginate, concave-triangular to trilobate	Obcordate	Distinct, broadening at equator	LM: nexine hexagonally thickened in polar area; sexine markedly thickened in MC	CM, MC: nano-verrucate to granulate M: psilate to micro-verrucate, granulate
Moquiniella	Isopolar, zono(3)colpate	Medium, distinctly oblate, slightly emarginate, concave-triangular	Obcordate	Distinct	LM: nexine thickened in polar area	CM: ? MC: nano-verrucate to granulate M: psilate
Phragmanthera	Isopolar, syn(3)colpate	Medium, oblate, elliptic, concave-triangular to trilobate	T-shaped	Distinct, covering the entire apices, can show intercolpial triangular build-ups at the pole	LM: nexine with triangular intercolpial thickenings	CM, MC: nano-verrucate to granulate M: psilate, partly granulate
