title: Morphological features of fruits, seeds and seedlings of &lt;i&gt;Aerva lanata&lt;/i&gt; (L.) Juss. in the conditions of introduction to the Southern coast of the Crimea
abstract: The results of the study of the early stages of the ontogenesis of Aerva lanata (L.) Juss. in the conditions of introduction to the Southern coast of the Crimea are presented. Morphobiological signs of seeds, morphological features of fruits, seeds and seedlings were revealed.
