Abstract

Sorocea bonplandii (Baill.) Burger, Lanjow e Boer is a species of ecological and medicinal importance that occurs in forest remnants in the northwest region of Paraná. The doubt about the origin of the fleshy pulp of the fruit and the difficulty of seed classification motivated the ontogenetic study of the pericarp and seed coat of this species. Flowers and fruits in several developmental stages were collected from “Horto Florestal de Maringá, Paraná”, fixed in FAA 50, and sectioned freehand or in rotation microtome, according to the usual techniques. Perigone and hypanthium together form the fruit. The hypanthium is very reduced in the flower and participates about 2/3 of the ripe fruit. Hypanthium presents collenchyma and epidermis with trichomes and stomata. Fruit is pomaceous. The single seed originates from anatropous, bitegmic, and crassinucellate ovule. Mature seed is exotestal and presents curved embryo and cotyledons with starch reserve
