Size>; and sculpture pattern of pollen grains in seven species and two varieties of the genus Lilium in Korea were examined by LM and SEM, and their evolutionary trends were discussed. Lilium species in Korea can be divided into two groups based on pollen morphology: one is small reticulate group with small pollen grains and lumens, which includes L. concolor var. pulchellum and L. callosum; the other is large reticulate group with large pollen grains and lumens, which includes remaining taxa. It is thought that small reticulate group is more primitive than large reticulate group on the basis of tectum coverage. According to the above results and some morphological characters of salles and perianth segments, L. concolor var. pulchellum and L. callosum are very closely related, and they would be treated under the same subsection.ection.
