The pollen morphology and exine structure of seven Fumaria L. species were investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The pollen grains of all seven species were porate with protruding on annulus. Pollen grains have six to twelve pores varying in shape from oblate spheroid and prolate spheroid to euprolate. The results indicate that the pollen characters of the Fumaria species may provide diagnostic features for taxonomic applications.
