The pollen morphology of nine species of Chrysophyllum (Sapotaceae) was described under light microscopy. Pollen grains were collected from herborized samples. Then, they were acetolysed, placed on slides, analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively, described and photomicrographed. The species of Chrysophyllum were characterized by presenting monad pollen grains, size ranging from small to medium, isopolar, subprolate to prolate shaped, subtriangular, subcircular and subquadrangular, 3–4 colporate, exine psilate, microreticulate and slightly striate. The Chrysophyllum species presented pollen grains with small morphological variations, especially regarding the aperture number and exine ornamentation. Thus, as the present study was one of the first made in Bahia about the pollen morphology of the genus, it may support future work, both local and regional, in the various areas of Palynology.
