Hello,

A fair amount of work has been done on reconstructing past plant
communities via pollen counts from old sediments. Oak pollen is pretty
distinctive, but is not usually identified further than genus Quercus. Not
too long ago, I read a paper about distinguishing red oak (subgenus
erythrobalanus) from white oak (subgenus quercus or leucobalanus or
somethingelse) pollen. I believe the paper was a 1992 paper. Try as I
might, I cannot find the paper in my files, nor have I been able to find
the paper on Biological Abstracts or carl.uncover.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Can you send me a reference?

Many thanks,

Peter
