Microscopical Transverse section of the seed shows testa, several loosely packed layers of
Reddish brown cells with moderately thickened walls with a few scattered, small rounded or
slit-shaped pits. Testa rumination, several layers of large, pitted thin-walled cells, some of
them filled with brown pigment and fixed oil globules, embedded with groups of vessels.
Endosperm, large polygonal cells with beaded and porous cellulose walls, perforated by
rounded to oval, conspicuous pits containing fixed oil globules and aleurone grains, some
with rather smooth walls. Embryo, occupying the central region of the seed near the base
