Abstract
The origin of the extranumerary embryos and the embryogeny of Tabebuia ochracea were analysed. Extranumerary apomictic embryos are of adventitious origin from hypostase cells and from the integument of ovule micropilar region. The embryogeny corresponds to Onagrad type. Among 233 dissected seeds, 81.37% presented polyembryony and up to seven embryos were detected in a single seed. Sexual and adventitious embryos can develop together in a single seed. Some of the adventitious embryos show severe morphoanatomical anomalies that can affect their development into seedlings.
