The present paper deals with study of diversity in tetracolporate pollen taxa of seven species of arborescent plants viz., Azadiracta indica, Citrus aurantifolia, Feronia elephantum, Manilkara zapota, Melia azadirach, Phyllanthus columanica, Swietenia mahagani from Karimnagar district. Pollen samples of these species were acetolysed and microscopic observations were recorded on diversity in size, shape, symmetry, polarity and ornamentation, which will be useful in melissopalynology, aeropalynology and taxonomy.
