Abstract

Morphological features of seed surface of 14 Pedicularis species from the section Anodontae (Bunge) Maxim of European flora were studied. Seeds of studied species diverse by size, and character of anticlinal and periclinal cell walls. It was ascertained that the investigated species are characterized by several types of ultrastructure of seed surface: regular reticulate, reticular-membranous, reticular-foveate, reticular-cristate, ladder-like and rugose.
