Some dicotyledonous pollen types from Cainozoic deposits in the Australian region

Abstract

Pollen types referable to the families Casuarinaceae, Haloragaceae,Myrtaceae, Olacaceae, Proteaceae, Santaiaceae, and Sapindaceae have been described from Cainozoic deposits in the Australian region; their relationship to living species has been discussed wherever possible.

The characters and distribution of three sporomorphs of uncertain affinity have been considered.

Details concerning the pollen grains of some of the living species of Anacolosa, Cathedra, Casuarina, the tribe Cupanieae (Sapindaceae), Haloragis, Myriophyllurn, and Santalurn have been recorded.
