Seed coat micromorphology of South American species of Hybanthus (Violaceae)

The seed-coat of several species of Hybanthus subg. Ionidium from South America were studied by SEM (scanning electronic microscopy). Three different levels of sculpture were observed on the seed coat. The micro-morphological patterns showed great variation between the species and should be consider...
