...INTRODUCTION The results of many comprehensive studies (Ridley 1930; Salisbury 1942; Isely 1947; Ross-Craig 1948-74; Baker 1972; van der Pijl 1972; Hubbard 1976; Lhotska & Chrtkova 1978) show clearly that flowering plants differ considerably with respect to the number, size, shape and dispersal…...

...Although the role of impermeable seed coats under field conditions is still uncertain (Ballard 1973), there can be little doubt that this characteristic is often conducive to delayed germination and incorporation into persistent seed banks. A further insight into the possible ecological significance of the hard seed coats of legumes is provided by studies such as those of Hamly (1932) and Hagon & Ballard (1969) and Hagon (1971), which have shown that permeability depends upon the condition of the strophiole, the only point of entry of water into the unscarified seeds of many legumes....

A further insight into the possible ecological significance of the hard seed coats of legumes is provided by studies such as those of Hamly (1932) and Hagon & Ballard (1969) and Hagon (1971), which have shown that permeability depends upon the condition of the strophiole, the only point of entry of water into the unscarified seeds of many legumes. More suggestive still are the results of Quinlivan (1961, 1968) and Quinlivan & Millington (1962), which have established that in some Australian legumes permeability of the strophiole can be increased under field conditions by diurnal temperature fluctuations of the magnitude commonly experienced by buried seeds lying on or close to a soil surface devoid of vegetation....
