【 摘 要 】

This study aimed to describe the fruits, seeds and seedlings morphological characteristics of Averrhoa bilimbi L. immature and mature fruits. The A. bilimbi fruits were separated according to color in immature and mature fruits. The record of fruits, seeds and seedlings morphological characteristics were performed by means of manual illustrations, photographs and morphological aspects descriptions. To study the germination and seedling morphology were take four replications of 25 seeds sown on blotter paper substrate and brought to B.O.D. adjusted in constant temperature 30°C under continuous light. The immature and mature fruits varied only in size, consistency and color, and other characteristics were common to the species. The seeds of immature and mature fruits could distinguished regarding the tissues turgor, as well as its color, luster and texture. The germination is phanerocotylar and epigeal, commencing on the seventh day and ending on the fifteenth day after seeding by obtaining normal seedling.
