Significance StatementA comprehensive image collection and measurement dataset of Myrtaceae reference pollen for the Furneaux Group, Tasmania to aid in the identification of Myrtaceae pollen types in fossil pollen records.
Brief DescriptionA collection of over 3000 images of Myrtaceae reference pollen grains for the Furneaux Group, Tasmania along with a corresponding measurement dataset for 1450 reference pollen grains.
Full DescriptionWe examined the pollen morphology of 23 Myrtaceae taxa from the Furneaux Island Group, Tasmania. Three-four herbarium flower specimens were collected of each species from the Australian National Herbarium and processed using standard techniques (Faegri and Iversen, 1975). At least 20 pollen grains from each sample were photographed and measured as soon as possible after chemical treatment.
