Abstract :In this study, detailed morphological investigation on the pollen of two Turkish Gagea species insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(G. glacialis and G. fibrosa); was carried out under light microscope and SEM. Pollen grain microphotographs of examined taxa have been taken from preparates which were made by Wodehouse and Erdtman techniques in LM. According to this analysis, Pollen ornemantetion of investigated taxa are identified as reticulate for Gagea glacialis, microreticulate for G. fibrosa. For G. glacialis mono sulcate, subprolate P/E= 0.76 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(W);, 0.8 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(E);, Exine 1.3 µm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(W);, 1.366 µm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(E);. For G. fibrosa, pollen grains measured as mono sulcate, subprolate P/E= 0.78 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(W);, 0.73 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(E);, Exine 1.316 µm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(W);, 1.25 µm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(E);
