The nut-fruited Restionaceae are a group of plants with mostly ant-dispersed (myrmecochorous) seeds that are endemic to the fynbos region of South Africa. Prior to this study, germination trials largely based on an ecological approach had not elucidated methods of improving seed germination in these species. Investigations of seed morphology and development, seed collection and sorting methods, and seed viability were conducted in species of Willdenowia, Cannomois and Hypodiscus to determine whether poor seed quality may have resulted in poor seed germination in previous studies. 2014-08-13T14:05:37Z 2014-08-13T14:05:37Z 2000 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6149 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
