More model information- Pollen from common knapweed (Centaurea nigra, Asteraceae).
- Although common knapweed is considered a weed, it is one of the best plants for pollinators in the UK, producing large amounts of both nectar and pollen.
- This pollen grain appears to have partly caved in on one side, either due to dehydration or to the chemical processing used to prepare it for scanning.
- Technical description of Centaurea pollen, from PalDat (Halbritter, 2016): medium-sized isopolar monads, spheroidal or prolate, circular or lobate in polar view, tricolporate, with an echinate exine.
