Abstract
Seeds of the genera belonging to the subtribe Orchidinae
(Orchidaceae) have been studied using scanning electron microscopy.
Qualitative data concerning the general morphology of the seed and testa
cells, and ornamentation of periclinal and anticlinal walls, are characters that
allow to recognize genera and taxa at infrageneric levels. The results show
that seed micromorphology is the best tool to support the molecular analyses
published in recent years for this taxonomic group.
