A survey of airborne pollen and spores is being undertaken in Auckland. The results for the 15-month period from November 1976 to February 1978 are presented. Even at the height of the flowering seasons meteorological factors greatly influence the concentration of pollen and spores in the atmosphere. Consideration of these factors is therefore essential when assessing the allergic patients' symptoms and treatment. A flowering calendar for Auckland of common anemophilous plants (many of which produce allergenic pollen) is presented.
