Pollen grains usually radially symmetrical, isopolar, tricolpate or non-aperturate. Mostly oblate-spheroidal rarely spheroidal, sexine thicker than nexine. Tectum bacculate. On the basis of apertural types 2 distinct pollen types viz., Linum perenne – type and Reinwardtia trigyna –type are recognized.
