Abstract

The pollen of Agave angustifolia Haw., A. fourcroydes Lem., A. sisalana Perrine and Manfreda maculata (Regel) Rose, occurring in the Yucatan Peninsula have been studied, with special emphasis on A. angustifolia. Observations were made with light and scanning microscopy. Considerable variation in apertures was found that included: anasulcate, tricotomosulcate, "horse shoe" type and disulcate. Ornamentation is basically the same among the species. The pollen of Agave and Manfreda are very similar suggesting they are closely related.Se estudia el polen de Agave angustifolia Haw., A. fourcroydes Lem., A. sisalana Perrine y Manfreda maculata (Regel) Rose, presentes en la Península de Yucatán, con especial énfasis en A. angustifolia. Las muestras fueron observadas al MEB y ML. Se encuentra una gran variación de la abertura, que puede ser: anasulcada, tricotomosulcada, anaulcerada, tipo herradura y disuelta. La ornamentación es básicamente la misma. El polen de Agave y Manfreda es muy semejante, por lo que se supone que ambos son muy cercanos.
