| definition | Distribution: Species within this gens are widely naturalised in disturbed places
and pastoral land. Native to Europe and found all across Australia. Description: This genus consists of annual or rarely biennial herbs that grow up to 120 cm high with one or more erect stems from the base with hairs that are dense, fine and spreading. For more details regarding the description of species within this genus please see: http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Echium~plantagineum Pollen Morphology: Pollen produced by this genus are circular in polar view and prolate in equatorial view. These pollen grains are between 12-15um in size and have three colpi and pores (tricolporate). The surface texture of these grains is a fine reticulate mesh. |

| definition | Distribution: This family consists of 375 genera and 3200 species that are chiefly
north temperate, some cosmopolitan. Many cosmopolitan species are efficient weeds.
In Australia there are 52 genera and 160 species; introduced species include cosmopolitan
weeds and cultivars of agriculture and horticulture. Description: This family consists of ephemeral, annual, biennial or perennial herbs, subshrubs or rarely shrubs. For more details regarding the description of species within this family please see: https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Brassicaceae Pollen Morphology: Pollen produced by this family have a rounded triangular shape in polar view and a circular to elliptical shape in equatorial view. These grains are between 20-30um in size and have three colpi which in most taxa are wide and deep, extending nearly to the centre of the grain. These colpi lack strong ornamentation, may have small granules, are rounded at the ends and do not protrude. The surface texture of these grains is strongly reticulate (mesh) and the width of this texture is even all over the grain. |

| definition | Distribution: A cosmopolitan family of about 101 genera and about 2200 species. Particularly
characteristic of temperate and cold regions, with few species occurring in the tropics.
In Australia, many species are introduced, minor weeds of disturbed places. Some species
are native, found from the deserts to the alps; except for Drymaria and Polycarpaea
the family is virtually absent from northern Australia. Description: This family consists of mostly annual or perennial herbs as well as herbaceous scrambling vines or small shrubs. For more details regarding the description of species within this family please see: https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Caryophyllaceae Pollen Morpholgy: Pollen produced by this family are spherical in shape and their shape is variable depending on the taxon, but are generally medium to large (30-40um diameter). These pollen grains have more than 6 pores (panto-porate) which are large (4-5um) and scattered all over the grain. The surface texture of the pollen is generally reticulate. |

| definition | Distribution: A family of 4 genera and 90 species from Australia to the islands of
the Pacific and SE Asia; the Flora of Australia publication listed 3 genera and 66
species in Australia, the Australian Plant Census lists 68 species. Description: This family consists of dioecious or monoecious trees or shrubs. For more details regarding the description of species within this family please see: https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Casuarinaceae Pollen Morphology: Pollen produced by this family are rounded triangular in shape and are between 30-40um at the longest point along both axes. These pollen grains have three pores that protrude from the grain and have a thickened dark area under each pore. The surface texture of these pollen grains are slightly granular. |

| definition | Distribution: This genus consists of 17 species distributed across SE Asia, Malesia,
Melanesia, Polynesia, New Caledonia and Australia. Specifically in Australia there
is 6 species that are widespread except for Tas and part of south-western and central
Australia. Description: This genus consists of dioecious and monoecious trees. For more details regarding the description of species within this genus please see: https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Casuarina Pollen Morphology: Pollen produced by this genus are rounded triangular in shape and are between 30-40um at the longest point along both axes. These pollen grains have three pores that protrude from the grain and have a thickened dark area under each pore. The surface texture of these pollen grains are slightly granular. |

| definition | Distribution: An endemic genus of 59 species (as listed in the Flora of Australia
publication), chiefly in southern Australia but 4 species extending to north-eastern
Qld and one, A. decaisneana, in tropical and subtropical parts of the eremean region.
The Australian Plant Census lists 61 species. Description: This genus consists of dioecious and monoecious shrubs and trees. For more details regarding the description of species within this genus please see: https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Allocasuarina Pollen Morphology: Pollen produced by this genus are rounded triangular in shape and are between 30-40um at the longest point along both axes. These pollen grains have three pores that protrude from the grain and have a thickened dark area under each pore. The surface texture of these pollen grains are slightly granular. |

| definition | Distribution: A family of 30 genera and c. 155 species; the Flora of Australia publication
stated four genera and 22 species native in Australia, with one species in an additional
genus naturalised. The Australian Plant Census lists six genera and 28 species. Higher
taxonomy of this group has been unstable, with the wide recognition of two families,
Taxodiaceae and Cupressaceae. Description: This family consists of dioecious and monoecious shrubs and trees. For more details regarding the description of species within this family please see: https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Cupressaceae Pollen Morphology: Pollen produced by this family are spherical in shape and are between 15-30um in diameter. In the centre of the pollen grain there is a highly distinctive star-like depression and surface texture of the grain is unevenly studded with tine round granules. |

| definition | Distribution: A cosmopolitan (except Antarctica and permanent ice sheet in Greenland)
family occupying diverse habitats, with a preference for open and aquatic habitats.
The greatest diversity of genera occurs in the tropical regions of the world. The
Cyperaceae have long been recognised as a taxonomically difficult group on account
of their reduced, but complex floral and vegetative morphology. Consequently, there
has been no consensus regarding the number of genera and the relationships between
the genera. Description: This family consists of annual or perennial herbs, rarely shrubs, or lianas, often with a grass-like or rush-like habit. For more details regarding the description of species within this family please see: https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Cyperaceae Pollen Morphology: Pollen produced by this family have a long ‘pear’ shape (prolate) with distinctly flattened ends and have a narrower distal end. The size of these grains are variable but are typically 20-30um wide and 30-50um long. The surface texture of these grains are smooth but have a granular plasma. |

| definition | Distribution: In this family there are about 125 genera and 4010 species that are
distributed widespread in cool-temperate regions and in tropical mountains. In Australia
there are c. 44 genera with some 600 species. Description: This family consists of Evergreen, or sometimes deciduous, shrubs or small trees, lianes, or rarely, herbs, sometimes epiphytic. For more details regarding the description of species within this family please see: https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Ericaceae Pollen Morphology: The pollen produced by this family typically are four roughly sphaeroidal grains that form a ‘tetrad’, however, some taxa in this family produce single grains (monads). The size of these tetrads are generally 25-40um in diameter and each of the grains in the titrate have one pore visible. The surface texture of these grains are generally smooth (psilate). |
