Description: The monograph deals  with the aeroflora of  Allahabad including pollen grains of angiosperms and gymnosperms, spores of pteridophytes, bryophytes and fungi and algal elements. The aerobiological surveys were conducted during 1973-1979 in crowded areas and at different heights in open areas of the city. The seasonal variations of different kinds of elements have been determined. Factors determining the frequency of pollen grains are discussed. Besides these aeropalynoflora and aeromycospora of Allahabad are compared with availabe data from other cities of India.
