Abstract
Natural born seeds of St. Augustine grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) O. Kuntze.) were harvested and examined. Thousand kernel weight, seed length and seed width was 1.28g, 3.79mm and 1.36mm, respectively. Although seeds were treated with 0.2 % KNO3 and /or prechilling to hasten germination, significant effect could not be detected. Since harvesting pure seeds requires much time and precise work, seed propagation is not practical but applicable to reserve of genetic resources or cross breeding.
