Forensic palynology, one science of plant's pollen and spores, has been developing to be a new frontier discipline in scientific toolkit of forensic science.There are approximate half million plants that produce pollen grains and spores. Each and every species of plant is unique. Each biogeographical region produces a unique ‘pollen spectra’ or ‘pollen print’ that can be very useful in linking things to the exact location. Due to characteristicsfeatures of pollen and spores, such as small size, light weight, large amount, and difficult to be found, they can leave trace evidence and provide new crime detection tool. Pollen spectra give relevant information about of vegetation of particulargeographical location. Many scientific studies have been proven potential values of forensic palynology in both criminal and civil cases. Forensic palynology studies and their use in crime detection are very rarely attempted in India. Therefore palynology has a good prospect for practical application in forensic botany. The paper intends to analyze the advantage and limitation of palynology in forensic science by reviewing its general characteristics, morphology, and disseminating circadian rhythm.

Key words: Forensic Palynology; Pollen spectra; Criminal and civil cases; Morphology.
