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. © TÜBİTAK.trueCruciferae | Hesperis | Morphology | Pollen | Seed | TurkeyArticle10.3906/bot-0807-1510.3906/bot-0807-152-s2.0-66949153691
