Pollen morphology of eight species belongs to Minuartia L. from Iraq were studied by light and scanning microscope, M.aucheriana (Boiss.) Bornm., M.hamata (Hausskn.) Mattf, M.hybrida (Vill.) Schischk., M.intermedia (Boiss.) Hand-Mazz., M.meyeri (Boiss.) Bornm., M.montana L., M.picta (Sibth.&Sm.) Bornmand M.recurva (All.) Schinz & Thell. Pollen typepolyporate were recognized, pollen grains were spheroidal in all species. Exine was more thickness than intine. Pollen grain size varies from small in M.intermedi, small to middle in M.picta, M.hamata, M.hybrida, M.meyeri, M.montana and M.aucheriana and middle in rest species. There are two types of tectum verrucate and microechinate- perforate Palynological data has been useful at genus and species levels.
