Pollen spectra of diVerent uni oral honeys from La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain). ± Grana 41: 48± 57.The pollen content of twenty-four uni oral honey samples from twelve diVerent apiaries in La Palma (Canary Islands) was subjected to qualitative and quantitative melissopalynological analysis. The quantitative analysis showed that 4% of the honey belonged to Maurizio's Class I, 8% to Class II, 58% to Class III, 17% to Class IV and 13% to Class V.
