The pollen morphology of 7 taxa, 3 genera of Buxaceae growing in Korea was investigated by means of light(LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results were as follows ; 1. A key to the genera of Buxaceae on the basis of pollen morphology was provided. 2. Pollen Length that Buxus was $21.9{\mu}m-28.3{\mu}m$, Pachysaradra was $34.9{\mu}m-43.0{\mu}m$ and Sarcococa was $27.2{\mu}m-39.6{\mu}m$ and that muri width and length were $0.3{\mu}m-4.6{\mu}m$, $0.9{\mu}m-4.3{\mu}m$, and that Lumen length was $0.4{\mu}m-2.4{\mu}m$. 3. Sculpture patterns were reticulate (Buxus) and chain shape (Sarcococa and Pachysandra). 4. Aperture type was polyforate.

The pollen morphology of 2 forms, 6 varieties, 50 species, 15 genera, 11 families of Korean Sapindales was studied. The keys were provided for general and families of Korean Sapindales. General pollen morphology was diversed and taxonomically significant differences were obtained in shape, aperture, type and size, sculpture pattern and exine thickness of pollen grains. Pollen grains of Korean Sapindales could be grouped into four types and five subtypes. One of five sub-types pollen grains of Acer could be ground into four under subtypes: ginnala type, barbinerve type, psseudo-sieboldianum type and negundo type. Pollen morphology of Empetraceae, Buxaceae and Balsaminaceae appeared to have very special features in the equatorial view and aperature type compare with pollen grain of the other families of Korean Sapindales.
