This book contains an introductory chapter on seed testing, with consideration of the special difficulties of tropical and sub-tropical tree seeds, followed by sections on approximately 40 species. There is a line diagram of each species' seed/fruit and sometimes foliage, plus sections on flowering, fruit ripening, collection and processing, then seed testing information on purity/thousand pure seed weight statistics, plus methods of dormancy breakage, germination and storage.
