Hazel and alder bloom as one of the fi rst plants in climatic conditions of Poland. In the present study, detailed observations were made of the structure of fl owers of Corylus avellana L. and Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. Pollen yield of the abovementioned species was determined. The number of pollen grains in the theca, anther, fl ower and infl orescence was calculated. A comparison was made of the number of pollen grains of these taxa recorded during the atmospheric pollen seasons analysed over a period of 8 years in the conditions of Lublin. The study demonstrates that pollen yield of the common hazel infl orescence was 66 mg, whereas for black alder it was 120 mg. It was found that the number of pollen grains produced by the alder infl orescence was 2.2 times higher than by the hazel infl orescence. The atmospheric pollen season of the studied plant taxa was recorded at similar dates, but alder pollen was in much larger concentrations.
