Abstract


The seed morphology or 28 species or Delphinium collected from Turkey is surveyed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Four major seed types are reported; subglobose with continous rings or lamellae. subpyramidal with narrow or wide scales, elongate subpyramidal with scales and sector-sphercidal reticulate, corresponding with the sections recognized in the current taxonomic systems or the genus, thus indicating its good taxonomic resolution. Biogeographical and systematic implications are discussed.
