Abstract
Describes the germination process and seedling morphology of Annona glabra and five other native, wetland trees in Mexico. Seeds were planted in a mixture of sand, cocoa plant husk, and black soil and maintained in a nursery with 30% artificial shade. Germination was greater than 86 percent. A key to seedlings is included.Suggested Citation
