Hello,
We found 2 seeds in a Trifolium squarrosum sample (french production). They look like a Fabaceae, but we did not arrive to identify the genus. We did not have seeds like this in our collection. I wonder if they can be some immature Vicia sp. seeds?
They are small (2 mm), round shape, mottled and shiny.Can someone help us?
Thanks in advance.Silvia
Hello Silvia,
I hope all is well with you and your lab. These seeds look like Vicia parviflora to me – 2 mm size, densely black mottled pattern, very short hilum, and a slightly protruding hilum and lens. I think the images are well done with all the identification features visible!
I hope this helps, Jennifer
Hello Jennifer,
We are fine, thank you, I hope you are too. Thank you for this identification, we found it again this week in another sample. This is usefull for improving our seed collection.I am happy to see that this forum is getting more and more popular.
Kind regards,
Silvia
Hi Silvia,
How are you doing?
We recently found a seed like this and we took it to a seed determination course, and they identified it as Lotus maritimus. Maybe this is the same seed? I have attached a link to the digital plant atlas.

Hello Annika,
I’m sorry , I see your post only today! I’m fine thanks and you?
I saw your link but I think it’s not our seed because the hilum is not really round shaped like Lotus, but thank you for your help.
Do you know that ISTA will do a workshop on purity in Cambridge on juin? Will you be there?
I hope to see you in Cambridge!Kind regards,
Silvia
