Catalogue of Southern Brazilian pollen grains: XXIV - Urticaceae

By studying the pollen morphology of some genera of the Urticaceae, it was possible to establish some pollinic types. In Urera and Urtica we have observed pantoporated grains, by Boehmeria 3-porated and by Phenax and Pilea 2-porated ones. A general discussion about the pollen morphology of Urticales from the south of Brazil is presented.
