Botanical and geographical origins of Argentine honey: Part III: North-east of La Pampa province.

Abstract

Twenty one samples of honey from the northeast of La Pampa province were analized using the techniques proposed by Louveaux et al. (1978). Thirty four types were identified. Eight samples have a mixed floral origin and 13 were monofloral from Prosopis sp. (one sample) and Melilotus sp. (12 samples). The pollen spectrum shows a transition area between the "pampeana" and the "espinal" regions. The characteristic pollen combinations are discussed.
