Abstract
Fruits of a number of taxa of all indigenous southern African arundino id genera were examined by means of SEM. Size, shape, compression, sur face sculpturing, embryo and hilum features were recorded and fruits o f all genera are illustrated. Results are compared to existing descrip tions. The genera are placed in five informal groups according to simi larities noted in the fruits.
