Morphological and anatomical studies of Linaria species from south-west Spain: Seeds

Abstract

Seeds of 24 taxa of Linaria from south-west Spain were examined with a scanning electron microscope and light microscope. Based on seed features such as shape, surface ornamentation and cell shape, seven morphological types were recognized. Seeds of the different types are described, illustrated and compared. A key to distinguish the different species or groups of species is provided.
