Abstract

A morphological and anatomical study of fruits and seeds of nine species of Scrophularia from SW Spain has been made. The seeds show considerable uniformity in shape, size, seed-coat, ornamentation and internal structure. Respect to fruits show several differences from a morphological and anatomical view point. Finally a key to distinguish the different species is provided.
