Abstract :The article includes the palynomorphological study of the main members of family Amaryllidaceae in Albania. In this article submitted comparative features of the genus: Acis, Leucojum, Narcissus, Sternbergia . The material for the study was obtained in National Herbarium in Tirana. For the study of palynomorphological features are analyzed 31 pollen grains from each species. The treatment of material is made with acetolysis method and basic fuchsine. The fixing of pollen grains is made with glycerin gelatin. The study and photos of pollen grains are realized with light microscope with 1000x power. The pollen grains of plants above are oblate ellipsoid or oblate spheroidal , isopolare, monosulcate. The exine appears thick and has two-layers. The sculpture of exine is microreticulate, tectate- punctuate, foveolate. The palynomorphological study of these representatives is given for the first time in the literature of palynology.Keywords : Amaryllidaceae, palynomorphological, pollen grains, monosulcate, exine, microreticulate
