Abstract

Abstract: Scanning electron microscopy of the seed coats of 18 species from 5 genera of Gentianaceae from mountainous regions of Xinjiang, North-Western China, reveals a high diversity of seed micromorphology. Two main types can be distinguished. The first comprises Gentiana, Gentianopsis and Swertia with sculptured seed coats. It may further be divided into three sub-types, each of which corresponds to a genus. The second type is characterized by smooth seed coats and is observed in Gentianella and Halenia.

Key words: Xinjiang, Gentianaceae, Micromorphology, Seed, Seed coat, SEM
