Morphological Aspects of Seeds and Seedlings of Jacarandá-da-Bahia
Keywords:
Dalbergia nigra, native species, BrazilAbstract
The paper objective was to describe and to illustrate the external and internal morphologic aspects of the seed, the germination process external aspects and seedlings phases of jacarandá- da- bahia (Dalbergia nigra VELLOZO) Fr. All. Ex. Bentham Leguminoseae- Papilionoidae). It was found that seed have tegument of bright medium brown color, with kidney shape and symmetricaless form of 7,0 mm to 10,0 mm of length for 5,9 mm to 8,8 mm of width; germination epigeous phanerocotylar, free of tegument, and occur at 30 days after sowing. Seedlings with opposing follicles, of herbaceous consistency and green clear color, with about 1,2 cm of length for 0,8 cm of width. Observations on the seeds internal and external morphology, allied to the ones made on the seedlings phases of development, allow identification of this species in the initial growth and the overall research results may be used for other taxonomic, silvicultural and ecological purposes.Downloads
