Abstract: Detailed exine sculpturing of the pollen of 32 Turkish Teucrium L. (Labiatae) taxa has been investigated under SEM. Two main exine sculpturing types, verrucate (in sections Teucrium, Scordium, Boiss, Chamaedrys Benth., Polium Benth., Stachyobotrys Benth. and Scorodonia Benth.) and reticulate, (only in section Isotriodon Boiss.) have been defined and their photographs have been presented.
