Lomatium triternatum
Abbreviation: LOTR
Seed sample from: 2011
Measurement: 9.5 x 3.3 x 1
Features: Seed a schizocarp, winged, laterally compressed, and ribbed. On one seed face, there are three white ribs that run across a dark reddish brown surface. On the opposite seed face there is one rib that bisects the dark brown.
Seeds are matte.
Latitudinal Cross Section: rhombic
Longitudinal Cross Section:' elliptical
Basic Explanations and Assumptions:
The dimensions for the seeds are length x width x depth. The location of the hilum is used as the base of the seed, and the length is measured from hilum to the opposite apex. Where a style is present, the length is measured from the hilum to the bottom of the style. Width is measured at a right angle to the length at the widest part. Depth is measured at a right angle to the intersection of height and width lines.
Measurements included are the mean average for each measurement of ten separate seeds.
All measurements in millimeters unless otherwise noted.
