Abstract

Stylophorum diphyllum (Papaveraceae) is an herbaceous polycarpic perennial that grows in mesic deciduous forest from W Pennsylvania and S Ontario to Wisconsin S to SW Virginia, N Alabama, N Arkansas and Missouri. Seeds are dormant at dispersal in late May and early June. Dormancy is due to a rudimentary (underdeveloped) embryo which requires incubation at low moist temperatures (stratification) for growth. Embryo elongation occurs during the cold season and seeds germinate in early spring. A warm pretreatment is not required for subsequent embryo growth and germination.-from Authors
