Abstract
Pollen grains have helped the species of plants to adapt to life on land, be able to disperse its pollen, and fertilize the female eggs to produce new seeds that would give rise to new plants. Pollen morphology is closely related to its function. Pollen grains of Bauhinia variegata were found triangular in shape with three germ pores and remained viable at 4+1oC for more than six months. Pollen size varied from 47.61-95.22 µm. Maximum pollen germination occurred in 15.0 per cent sucrose solution.
