Some notes on the morphology and anatomy of seeds of two similar heathers, Erica carnea L. and Erica erigena R. Ross
Dendrobiology 2008, vol. 59: 51-55
Abstract: This paper presents the results of comparative studies on seed morphology and anatomy of two species: Erica carnea and E. erigena. SEM and LM micrographs are presented. The seeds differ in size and shape of epidermal cells of the seed coat, but they represent the same structural type, which is clearly dissimilar from that of the other European species of this genus.
Additional key words: SEM micrographs, seed sculpture, species identification
