ABSTRACT = {Both seeds of Sedum formosanum and Sedum morrisonense are oblong in shape. The seed size of S. morrisonense is 1.5-2 times of that of S. formosanum and the seed weight of S. morrisonense is four times of that of S. formosanum. On the outer surfaces of these ywo kinds of seeds, there are thick cuticular layers. The surface view of seed coats showed that the epidermal cells were all tuberculate but their shapes and arrangements were different between species.The inner spaces of these seeds are almost filled by the embryos. Between the radicle and seed coat there is a layer of endosperm cells. These cells contain predominantly lipid as nutrient reserve. In the embryo the insoluble reserves are lipid and protein. The ratio of areas of oil bodies and areas of protein  bodies in the cotyledonous cells of S. morrisonense (3.57) is higher than that of S. formosanum (1.87).},
