Description
The insular nature of southern Florida's floristic community
and unique contact with tropical systems have produced plant
communities that are exceptional to the continent. This
uniqueness provides an ideal situation for a localized
palynological study. Pollen from seventy-five species of
angiosperms, each representing a family extant in southern
Florida, is analyzed morphologically and systematically to
provide information for related studies. Families are
selected on the basis of phylogenetic or economic
importance, or uniqueness of occurrence on this continent.
