Summary
Brudermann A., Martínez-Azorín M., Knirsch W. & Wetschnig W. 2018. Seed morphology of Rhodocodon (Hyacinthaceae) and its systematic implications. – Phyton (Horn, Austria) 58 (2): 139–154, with 10 figures and 1 table.*


As part of studies of seeds in Hyacinthaceae, we detected the genus Rhodocodon as a rare example in the family that shows remarkable variability in seed morphology. Detailed descriptions and a key for the seeds of 13 species and their systematic implications are presented.
