Three main types and 2 subtypes were recognized based on the seed coat surface, pollen shape, and exine sculpturing. The seed coat ornamentation of Type I was ocellate. and pollen shape was oblate-spheroidal, While Type II was represented by reticulate seed coat and prolate-spheroidal pollen shape, Type III had tuberculate seed coat. This study revealed that both palynological and seed morphological characters are of significant importance in the taxonomy of the genus.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCruciferaeHesperismorphologypollenseedTurkeyArticle3328396Q2WOS:000267839700002N/A
