Abstract

Zhumeria majdae is one of the important medicinal species of Hormozgan province. It is used as a traditional medical plant. In this investigation, the effects of habitat and pre-treatments on seed germination of Zhumeria majdae were studied. Seeds of species were collected from two main habitats and tested for pre-treatments as scarification, sulfuric acid (for 15 and 30 minutes) and warm water. Seeds were sown in Petri dishes for 14 days. This experiment was carried out in factorial based on 4 replications.
According to the results, applying sulfuric acid for 15 minutes as pre-treatment on seeds that were collected from Sarchahan had higher values of seed germination percentage and germination rate. Vigor index of the seed samples that were collected from Sarchahan was higher than those were collected from Geno.
