 sometimes closer to the lower end of the endosperm, usually orbicular, dark or light

 of the fertile seeds.

Fertile seeds rounded (i.e., not angular), flattened-ovoid, convex surface without a keel and the

Sterile seeds very abundant, dull brown. (Copmanhurst, J. L. Boorman, 1916". ) 



Fertile seeds dark brown to black, 3-4 mm. long, 3 mm. broad, rather thick, ovate

Fertile seeds light brown, 3 mm. long, 2 mm. broad, rather thin, ovate, the edge 

 sometimes very sharp, pitted and more or less wrinkled on both sides. Hilum ventral,
