6.SEED MORPHOLOGY OF SOME MEDICINAL PLANTS BY PRABAKARAN, SELVARANI AND SATHYA
Abstract
Seed morphology of Medicinal plants of Muthugapatty, Namakkal district was studied. The mature
seeds were collected from different season of the study area. The characters like, Fruit type,
number of seeds per fruit, seed weight, seed sculpturing pattern, seed shape, seed colour, hilum,
and modification of seeds/fruits were observed. In the study nine different types of fruits were
recorded among these capsules is present in most of the species. It is observed 12 types of shapes
among these ovate recorded in most of species. Sculpturing pattern like chagrenate, scabrate,
echinate, fossulate, cicatricose, striate, reticulate were recorded. Seed mean weight ranges 400?g -
616mg. Hilum represents 4-position namely terminal sub terminal, lateral and basal .The
importance of seed is used not only in taxonomy but also in agriculturists, botanists, and biologists
to identify the species.
