Abstract
Morphological and anatomical aspccts of seeds and seedlings of Eucalyptus citriodora Hook and E. maculara Hook were studied in detail and found to be extremely similar. However. the external characteristics of the seed, the seed coat anatomy and sorne features of the seedlings appeared to be very useful in the identification of these two economically important species.References
