Bauhinia variegata L. is a species of flowering plants in the family (Caesalpinaceae), native to southeastern Asia, from southern China to India. It is a small to medium sized tree growing to 10–12 m height, deciduous in the dry season. Pollen biology was studied in plants growing in Agra. Time of anthesis, stigma receptivity, pollen fertility, pollen germination, pollen-ovule ratio and pollination biology etc. were studied.
