Abstract: The endothecium
in 22 species of Inula L., and its allied genera (Pentanema Cass.,
Duhaldea DC., Dittrichia Greuter and Iphiona Cass.) was examined

i.e., polar, radial and transitional are recognized. In the genus Inula

Dittrichia and Iphiona is radial while the genus Duhaldea is characterized
by polar endothecium. Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan. |
