Abstract

Scanning electron microphotographs of seed surface patterns of three wild and five cultivated species ofVigna are provided and described. The seed surface patterns are species-specific and showed no interpopulation variation. To promote the use of technical terms in SEM studies of seed surface and to serve as a ready reference a table explaining the 13 terms adopted by us is given. The importance of study of seed surface especially in taxonomy is discussed.
