Every man is a taxonomist from the cradle to the grave since he is surrounded by plants and trees, therefore they can
be considered as the primary companion in the biotic community. The importance of plants has been realized and well
documented since ancient period. Based on different aspects, they are classified and concluded into various families. The
scientific study of spores and pollen grains, both living and fossils make up the subject “Palynology”. Study of the morphology of
pollens are highly significant as it can be useful in establishing relationship amongst various taxa, resolving disputed
taxonomical problem, building phylogenetic tree, tracing ancestry of a particular clade. Besides, this discipline gives a sound
knowledge on pollination ecology, constructing phylogenetic classification as well as in palynotaxonomic studies. Apocynaceae
family has been considerably studied with respect to their pollen morphological characters.
