Abstract
Cytomorphological studies including scanning electron microscopy of the seed surfaces and seed protein characterization have been performed to ascertain interrelationship between 2 species of Nigella (Ranunculaceae) namely, Nigella sativa L. (black cumin: spice of commerce) and Nigella damascena L. (love-in-a-mist: ornamental) and the results obtained have been discussed. Further, in this investigation it has also been noted that a line of N. damascena obtained from Royal Botanic Garden, Kew. London possessed unique ornamental phenotype and yielded good number of viable seeds per plant which were with high protein content.
