Abstract
In the course of the research, the morphological and morphometric characteristics of the seeds of the leaders of the genus Turbinicarpus (family Cactaceae) were studied. The studied taxa were divided into several groups depending on the sculpture of the seed coat and the surface of the epidermal cells of the seed coat: the smooth surface of the epidermal cells and the wrinkled surface of the epidermal cells. Identified signs that can be used as diagnostic for establishing the systematic position of plants.
