Abstract
The Gnetales (
Ephedra

Gnetum
and
Welwitschia
) is an intriguing group of nonflowering seed plants (gymnosperms). These plants are closely related to angiosperms and possess many angiosperm‐like features.

A classification system for seed dormancy
The proposal is made that seed scientists need an internationally acceptable hierarchical system of classification for seed dormancy. Further, we suggest that a modified version of...
