Annotation

The range of the variability of the morphological characters of stamens and pollen grains in Platanus x acerifolia (Aiton) Willd. from different geographical locations — Anapa, Krasnodar region, Russia (group 1) and Santa Cristina, Spain (group 2) was studied. A high degree of conservatism of such stamens features as the form of anthers, the form of pollen sacks, and the prominent apical extension of the connectives for both groups is shown. The shape and degree of pubescence of the apical extension of the connective, as well as the degree of the cutinization of theca are different in two groups. The characters of pollen grains in both groups are quite conservative. The implications of these data for paleobotanical research are discussed.
