Abstract
The pollen morphology of recent pollen grains of the genus Plantago (Plantaginaceae) occurring in the Colombian Andes is described on the basis of light and scanning electron microscopy. The results were found to be applicable to the determination of fossil pollen types found in lake sediments of the same area.
