Some tips/websites for pollen identification?

I am doing a project where I have to collect and identify pollen. The problem is I have no idea what flowers might have little white or yellow pollen. Is there anyone out there who knows identification techniques, or knows a website that explains how to identify?








Thanks a lot.

Some tips/websites for pollen identification?
Did find a few but can't figure out how to use them or how they work. But there is a "contact" in the upper right corner. I'd send them an email requesting help and a botanist or the equivalent would help you really quickly. Need to update because there was a couple more here and need to figure out how to use them and reupdate this here.





This next one describes pollen grains and if you click on the blue diagram word there is a fascinating printout of how the chart will look. Not a database however like I think the first one is once I figure out how to use the thing here.





Went to a third website and it appears you must identify the plant species FIRST before collecting the pollen. You can't extract pollen samples and later on match it to a plant. Once you have decided on your plant species you go out and collect them and make a chart like at the second link.





Last link, you can go with maple for yellow pollen, any kind: silver maple, etc. Then jewelweed (just click on the blue word jewelweed) if it grows over there is yellowish-white. Apple is also yellowish-white. Do not see just plain white here.
Reply:Thank you. You will need a microscope too and some plants don't flower in Spring and some do. You can look at your slide and count pollen grains to see how concentrated it is, going above and beyond call of duty. Use same magnification and multiply. Report It

Reply:Also make sure to take samples from many flowers per plant. See, the pollen is from stamens, not carpels. Most these types plants have both so collect specimens fro seven of them to be sure, stuff can be almost invisible. Report It
