Abstract
Sections of microspores, some cingulate, one zonate and one saccate, are discussed and illustrated. It is shown that sections aid the elucidation of wall structures; thus diagnoses can be mere precisely written and this may eventually remove some classificatory difficulties. A sectioning technique is described.
