epigeal seedlings/seeds Explanation: You may have asked this question as "epigeas" can be translated as either "epigean" or "epigeal". Strangley enough, on searching on Google I did not find any Botany sites with "epigean seeds", certainly "epigean" is used as an adjective, but not with "seeds" so it seems. However, I did find some reliable examples of "epigeal seeds". See: http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:YVR1UYpf314J:assets.cam...

epigeous seeds Explanation: Actually, a germination process is called epigeous. Also cotyledons are epigeous. But, since cotyledons are part of the seed (they hold the embryo), it would be reasonable -though not entirely correct- to say "epigeous seeds". Check these references out: http://library.thinkquest.org/3715/glossary_text.html Seeds and Seed Germination In species with epigeous germination, the hypocotyl elongates rapidly, lifting the cotyledon(s) out of the soil and into the air. ... plantphys.info/Plant_Biology/seedgerm.html - 16k - Cached - Similar pages [PDF] Importance of Photosynthetic Cotyledons for Early Growth of Woody ...
