THE PALYNOMORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TANACETUM IN ALBANIA

The article includes the palynomorphological study of the main members of genus Tanacetum in Albania. In this article submitted comparative features of the species: Tanacetum vulgare, Tanacetum corymbosum, Tanacetum parthenium, Tanacetum macrophyllum, Tanacetum larvatum and Tanacetum albanicum. The material for the study was obtained in National Herbarium in Tirana. For the study of palynomorphological features are analyzed 31 pollen grains from each species. The treatment of material is made with acetolysis method and basic fuchsine. The fixing of pollen grains is made with glycerin gelatin. The study and photos of pollen grains are realized with light microscope with 1000x power. The pollen grains of plants above are spheroidal or oblate spheroidal, three furrows three pores. The exine appears thick and has two-layers. The sculpture of exine is echinate. The work is part of the palynological study of general members in Asteraceae family in our country.
