Anisodontea (Malvaceae). A high proportion of the seed coats were empty. It is possible that the ungerm. seeds were empty seed coats and that the only conclusion is that the seeds germinate readily in 70D. A. capensis DS 6 m germ. 40-70D(10% on 3rd d) and 70D(none). The ungerm. seeds could have been empty seed coats. A second sample germ. 40(1/3 in 5th w) and 70D-4Ó-70D-40-70D-40(1/6 in 10th w)-70D(1/6 in 10th w).
