Pollen grains were extracted from sporangia of the pollen organPermotheca sardykensisfor the first time. The material originates from the middle Permian deposits of the Kostovaty locality (Udmurt Republic, Russia). The pollen grains were studied with light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. The pollen grains are rounded to oval, protobisaccate, with a leptoma. The sacci are very small and difficult to see under transmitted light, but, in a scanning electron microscope, differ from the corpus region in their sculpture (they can be distinguished by their psilate surface versus verrucate corpus sculpture). The leptoma was distinguished in the transmission electron microscope only by a considerable thinning of the pollen wall. The pollen wall consists of two layers which may be interpreted as a thick ectexine without a clear subdivision into sublayers and a thin endexine. Outside the pollen grains, remnants of a thin probable tapetal layer are present. The observed results could arise from pollen wall deterioration during diagenesis or incomplete pollen wall development. The pollen grains from the sporangia ofP. sardykensisstrongly differ from in situ pollen types which were described from otherPermothecaspecies earlier or were associated with Peltaspermales. This may indicate a heterogeneity of the genusPermotheca.
