Résumé / Abstract

Floral biology, mode of anther dehiscence, pollen production, viability and morphology in three Cassia species, namely, C. angustifolia, C. didymobotrya and C. siamea was studied. Flowers of all these species are yellow, cup or bowl-shaped, complete, bisexual and pentamerous. These species exhibit diversity in number, size of stamens, mode of anther dehiscence, pollen production and pollen viability. There are two types of stamens (large and small) which dehisce either by a longitudinal slit or a sub-terminal pore. Pollen grains are tricolpate and tricolporate with reticulate exine.
