ABSTRACT = {The present paper is a part of a series of palynological studies for better understanding the relationship between the genera and subfamilies of the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) in Taiwan. There are 4 genera and 12 species found as native plants of the tribe Millettieae in Taiwan. The pollen grains of these 12 native taxa were studied, using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy to examine and photomicrograph their pollen morphology. The pollen morphology of the tribe Millettieae in Taiwan is characterized by similar exine stratification, its columellate interstitium, the discontinuous foot layer, and the differentiated exine ornamentation. The pollen type for this study is based on the features of exine ornamentation and stratification. The genus Pongamia is represented by a single type, the genus Derris by two subtypes, and the genera Millettia and Tephrosia by three subtypes respectively but they can be grouped into 4 main types.  Except for  the genus Pongamia, the palynological characteristics alone are not sufficient for identification of the genera among the tribe Millettieae in Taiwan.},
