In
Aneilema paniculatum the endosperm is of the nuclear type. Compound starch grains are abundant in all cells except in the outermost layer.
The embryogeny is of the Asterad type and is placed under Commelina variation. A single instance of polyembryony has been
observed.
The seeds are pale brown, irregular and hard. The seed is divided into a narrow micropylar collar region and the broad basal
region. The former is occupied by the embryo and the latter, by the endosperm. The nucellus is represented by a thin band
of degenerated cells.
The seed coat is formed from both layers of the inner integument and inner epidermis of the outer integument.
