Sažetak
Our study presents forensic potential of pollen grains from the area of the typical continental town in Croatia (Donja Stubica). A total of 141 plant taxa with their pollen were collected. Microscopic slides were analysed under inverted light microscope. The pollen grains were analysed according to their forensic potential based on means of dispersal. The following was recorded for pollen of each taxa: shape of pollen grain, aperture type, grain size, means of dispersal, degree of threat and forensic potential. Pollen of the majority of taxa of the researched continental area of Croatia, thanks to dispersal with insects, and partially by limited distribution in Croatia (e.g. Daphne mezerum), has excellent forensic potential. The generated palynological collection could be used as a comparative forensic collection for identification of control, respectively forensic samples of pollen grains in concrete cases of the legal expertise of pollen.
