Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Thymbra pollen grains are hexacolpate.
- Observation The polar axis of Thymbra pollen ranged from 25.31 to 32.45 μm.
- Observation The equatorial axis of Thymbra pollen ranged from 32.25 to 39.04 μm.
- Observation Pollen micromorphological traits effectively distinguish the five Thymbra taxa.
- Observation T. capitata, T. spicata and T. sintenisii formed distinct groups in the multivariate analysis.
- Observation Intine thickness, P/E ratio, lumina diameter and reticula diameter were effective in differentiating Thymbra taxa, especially at subspecies level.
- Observation Seed surface and size varied among Thymbra taxa.
- Observation The pollen and seed results of Thymbra taxa are consistent with the most recent taxonomic revision.
