This study presents some detailed observations on the meiotic behavior and a comparative palynological study of some selected species of Salvia L. sect. Aethiopis Benth. ANOVA test was used to compare chiasma frequency, distribution and chromosomal associations, revealing a significant difference in all meiotic characteristics among the S. hypoleuca, S. limbata, S. reuteriana, S. spinosa, and S. xanthocheila species. Moreover, some meiotic abnormalities such as chromosome stickiness, laggard chromosomes, as well as frequent tripolar, multipolar cell formation and cytomixis occurred in these species. Light Microscopy (LM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used for analyzing pollen. Some micromorphological characteristics such as pollen shape, size, polar axis length, equatorial axis length, aperture numbers and exine ornamentation, exhibited remarkable differences amongst the studied species.
