Overview

This analysis uncovers pollen variation in Myosotis species, indicating distinct morphological patterns.

Key Points

  • To complete a comprehensive pollen survey of Myosotis and analyze morphological data for pattern recognition.
  • Conducted scanning electron microscopy on pollen grains from 75 individuals across 34 taxa.
  • Observed and described 18 morphological characters from the pollen samples.
  • Utilized ordination and model-based clustering analyses on the dataset of 12 characters and 231 individuals.
  • Identified three significant clusters of pollen types: M. australis, M. uniflora, and other types.
  • Discovered additional variation, including a new pollen type not previously documented.
  • Demonstrated structuring of pollen types by taxonomy and morphology in ordination plots.
