Seed

Abbreviation: COGR

Seed sample from: 2010

'Average measurement: 0.7 x 1.5 x 1

Measurement range: L: 0.5 - 0.9, W: 1 -1.6, D: 0.7 – 1.1

Features

Color: Seed bright red with a large, white, elliptical shaped depression on the longer face of the seed that is the hilium.

Syrface: Seeds matte and bumpy, with some wrinkling around the hilium depression.

Could be confused with: Collinsia parviflora.
