| Abstract | ||
| The morphological and anatomical characters of the spermoderm of 27 species of Resedaceae were examined and described to assess the applicability of these attributes in the process of identification. Many of the recorded morphological and anatomical attributes were found to be fairly diagnostic at both the generic and specific levels. Unlike earlier claims that Reseda alba and R. decursiva are conspecific; the present data justify their treatment as distinct species. A correlation was found between some of the studied characters. | ||
