Seeds (akenes) cylindrical, broadly club-shaped, l£-2 mm curved; surface dull and usually roughened by many small tubercles more or less distinctly arranged in ten rows, indistinctly few-tubercled or nearly smooth, but commonly more or less evidently ten-ribbed; base tipped by the rounded, whitish scar; apex rounded or slightly pointed; color varying from light to dark brown.

Seeds nearly circular, lens-shaped, with blunt edges, 1-1J mm. in diameter, occur- ring in commercial seeds as free seeds or as fruits, the seeds proper being invested by the thin pericarp; free seeds jet black, smooth or nearly so, and highly polished; scar occu- pying a curved groove extending from the cen- ter to the edge of one face and usually evident as a light-colored line; fruits only slightly larger than the seeds, mostly gray or black and dull; pericarp wall often broken away, expos- ing the shining black surface of the seed; again, this wall and the seed coat are often broken, exposing the yellowish or whitish embryo and endosperm; embryo cylindrical, occupying the border of the seed and surrounding the endosperm, its extremities almost meet- ing, the tip of the caulicle occupying an extension of the seed coat at the edge beside the scar. (Fig. 26.) Found chiefly in Kentucky bluegrass and Canada bluegrass seeds, but not frequently and never abun- dantly.
