The results of study on biometrical parameters of the seeds in Cephalanthera damasonium are represented. The high degree of heterogeneity of seeds by morphometric parameters and ability to germination was identified. It is shown the correlation between the seed germination, morphology and fruit’s morphometric characteristics.
