This can be referred to as more or less rugose. From my experience I can tell you that testa surface pattern under SEM might be varied and sometimes you will have to coin suitable terms by yourself.

Dear Dr. Bandyopadhyay

Thank you for your suggestion but rugose means wrinkled, the irregular elevations making up the wrinkles and running mostly in one direction, are you sure it is compatible for these pictures? also I agree with you that it is very depend on researcher view.

Dear Arfa,

You are correct. When I viewed the images in my mobile the patterns appeared to be more or less rugose but not so in my desktop. You will have to coin a suitable term yourself.

Dear Dr. Bandyopadhyay

Thanks for your attentiom.

Dear Afra,

A page from William Stearn's Botanical Latin, may help while describing a seed surface. Do find attached herewith.

All best!

Dear Ullah

Thanks for your suggestion

The pictures belong to Lepudium (Brassicaceae) and I read papers about seed surface architecter but it is confusing and really depend on researcher view. I like to have other researchers opinions about the kind of these seed surface ornamentation.

Dear Dr. Nandikar

Thanks for valuable file. It is really useful and intresting.

Do you agree with me that seeds surface ornamentation are rugose?

Yes Afra, but I'll prefer rugose to ruminate. As it has irregular to reticulate and uneven markings or elevations too!!

Thanks!

Excellent answer and suggestion by Mayur Nandikar
