Pollen morphology of all African Celtis species was examined and compared with that of some Asian species, using light and scanning electron microscopy. The pollen grains are triporate and more or less spheroidal. Two pollen types could be distinguished based on a feature of the apertures and the density of the surface ornamentation.
