AB  - In this study 12 species of Cyperaceae have been studied for quantitative and 
      qualitative observation of pollen grains through Light and scanning electron 
      microscopy. Pollens of 12 species of Cyperaceae from different wetlands of Azad 
      Jammu and Kashmir were collected. Morphological characters of pollen grains were 
      then investigated under the Light and Scanning electron microscope. Two pollen 
      types have been observed apolar and heteropolar. Shape of pollens was prolate (4 
      spp), sub-spheroidal (7 spp), and oblate (1 spp). Variation observed in exine 
      sculpturing granular (4 spp), reticulate (1 spp), areolate-punctate (3 spp), and 
      psilate (2 spp). Polar to equatorial ratio and fertility percentage of the 
      pollens were also studied. Based on these micromorphlogical characters of pollens 
      taxonomic keys have been made for the accurate identification of the members of 
      Cyperaceae. The characteristics studied in present research work are very much 
      valuable taxonomically and phytochemically for the identification of species of 
      family Cyperaceae. Light microscope (LM) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) 
      were used for pollen observation, which play vital role in the taxonomical 
      identification of species and provide sufficient information for taxonomist.
