“…The outstanding work on the pollen morphology of extant Loranthaceae by Feuer & Kuijt (1979 , 1980 , 1985 ) and other Santalales lineages ( Maguire, Wurdack & Huang, 1974 ; Feuer, 1977 , 1978 , 1981 ; Feuer & Kuijt, 1978 , 1982 ; Feuer, Kuijt & Wiens, 1982 ) demonstrated that most pollen produced by members of the Loranthaceae cannot be confused with pollen from other angiosperm families ( Grímsson, Grimm & Zetter, 2017 ). Grímsson, Grimm & Zetter (2017) distinguished four general types (Pollen Type A, B, C, D), of which only one (Pollen Type A) could be confused with pollen of other Santalales lineages, and would unlikely be recognised as Loranthaceae pollen if found in a fossil pollen sample.…”
