Abstract

Studies were conducted on the physical attributes of seeds in relation to their position in the pod and its influence on germination, seedling establishment and vigour of four ornamental species, viz Albizia saman, Cassia fistula, Cassia hybrida and Delonix regia. Results revealed that seeds extracted from the distal end of the pod in D. regia and middle portion for the other three species produced better vigour and seedling establishment.
