• Resumen

  • Fruits and seeds of the Paronychia taxa present in the Southwest of Spain were examined with a scanning electron microscope and light microscope. It has been observed in the utricles a greater density of papillae in P. argentea and P. echinulata as compared to P. capitata where appears smooth or scarcely papillate. With respect to the seeds the surface of the cells is rugulate in P. argentea while in P. echinulata and P. capitata is smooth. Finally it is commented the dispersion system and the possible epicuticular waxes presence.
