Pollen Morphology & Pollination: Resources & References

[Clausius2]

Hi there,

I was wondering if somebody knows some nice web page/ book /e book/ resource/ about Pollination and Pollen morphology. I am interested in the big picture of the process, but also paying attention to the different morphologies of pollen grains and its influence on the process.

Thanx.

Do you know also some on-line database of botany (with pictures)?

Happy New Year.
