The palinological characterization of species of the seven genus of Celastraceae with distribution in Colombia allowed us to establish, in a general way, its stenopalynological behavior; the pollen grains are monads, isopolares radially symmetric; oblate spheroidal or suboblate; tricolporate, with semitectate exine, reticulate or microreticulate in 58%. The endoapertures are lalongate in 92% ofthe cases, the decrease in the exine thickness near the colpus is common to all the taxa. Some exceptions are found in Maytenus longipes prolate spheroidal; Celastrus colombianus lolongate endoapertures; Gymnosporia gentryi, Zinowiewia australis and Crossopetalum panamense costa. Maytenus novogranatensis and Goupia glabra have tectate exine, foveolate o fosulate. Perrottetia and Goupia are the most dissimilar genus in the family, which is observed their macroscopic morphology . The palynologycal characteristics of Goupia strenghten the possibility of ist separation from the Celastraceae in orden to form the family Goupiaceae.
