摘要
Dispersed trisulcate pollen grains of Pretricolpipollenites bharadwajii from the ?latest Permian of Jordan were studied with light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. The three sulci are located on the disal side. The median sulcus is usually longer, wider than the other two sulci, and has rounded aperture ends. The exine sculpturing and aperture membrane are scabrate. The ectexine includes a thick tectum, granular infratectum, and thin foot layer. The endexine is lamellate. A comparison with the closest similar genus Eucommiidites suggests overlapping characters; though the position of the three sulci on the distal side in Pretricolpipollenites bharadwajii and sulci on different sides in Eucommiidites indicates a possible distinguishing feature. Studies of exine ultrastructure of the other two Pretricolpipollenites species are needed to support or discard the distinction of Pretricolpipollenites and Eucommiidites.
