Abstract

LOPEZ VARGAS, Luis Eduardo  and  MACIAS PINTO, Diego Jesús. Fruits, seeds, germination and seedling development of Amphilophium paniculatum (L) Kunth. (Bignoniaceae). Colomb. for. [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.1, pp.45-54. ISSN 0120-0739.  https://doi.org/10.14483/udistrital.jour.colomb.for.2017.1.a04.

Described the morphology description of fruits, seed, seedling and germination capacity of A. paniculatum, known in the area with the common name “Batero”, is submitted. Fruits were collected in Andean forest relict of the municipality of Sierra-Cauca, where floristic and ecological restoration studies are carried out. 20 fruits and 20 seeds were used for the morphological description; morphometric measurements of length, width and thickness were taken. . Germination stages were observed and described based on four nursery planting replicates of 128 seeds each; seedling establishment transplant ability was also evaluated; observations were made every three days during the evaluation period and the establishment was determined by survival or seedling. The fruits of A. paniculatum are dry and capsule type. The seeds are narrow and winged. Germination is Chryptocotylar hypogeal type, average germination time is determined from 7 to 25 days and the survival rate by transplanting after the appearance of the first metafilos is 90 %.

Keywords : establishment; germination; restoration.
