ABSTRACT
A comparative palynological study of eight species of Dioscorea L. from Meghalaya, North East India was carried out in order to evaluate the taxonomic significance of palynological characters to differentiate the species. Characters were coded and analyzed by Principal components analysis. An indented dichotomous key based on palynological characters was constructed to distinguish and identify the species.
Key words: Dioscorea; Palynology; Principal Component Analysis; Systematics
