Zusammenfassung:Astragalus membranaceus has flowers that are similar to that of the legume family, but shows poor bearing when self-pollination is induced. Thus, this study was carried out observing the ripening procedure of pistils and stamens and development stages of pollen in the context of the birth and growth of the flower. As to the bearing of the flower of A. membranaceus, few pod setting and 13% pod setting were observed when self-pollination is induced by paper-bag covering or artificial pollination treated respectively. The result indicates that A. membranaceus is a cross-pollination plant. A pistil grew faster than a stamen until just before blooming. The flower size was about 17.0 ㎜ × 4.0 ㎜. Pistils and stamens had the same length after flowering. Pollen mother cells passed through meiosis and mitosis when its length reached around 3.5 ㎜, thus creating the tetrade when 4 ㎜ long. Pollen attained full growth when the bud was about 10 ㎜ long. An anther was found to tend to dehisce when the length of a bud reached around 12.0 ㎜. As to the shape of pollen, about 70 % were normal. 1 % and 30 % were small or empty pollen respectively. The result indicates that pollen of A. membranaceus attains full growth ,just before anther dehiscence which occurs before blooming while pistils grow faster than stamens until before flowering.
