Sažetak
Variability of Berberis croatica and B. vulgaris fruits and seeds was investigated during three years in one natural population of B. croatica (Vošac, Mt Biokovo), as well as one natural (Rakov Potok near Zagreb) and one cultivated (Pharmaceutical Botanical Garden “Fran Kušan” in Zagreb) population of B. vulgaris. B. croatica had following dimensions of fruits (seeds): length 7.28–7.88 (4.57–5.03) mm ; width 3.85–3.99 (width 1: 2.06–2.20 ; width 2: 1.44–1.63) mm ; weight 0.0654–0.0711 (0.0116–0.0134) g. Dimensions of B. vulgaris fruits (seeds) were: length 10.20–11.29 (5.71– 6.24) mm ; width 5.29–5.83 (width 1: 2.40–2.71 ; width 2: 1.60–1.98) mm ; weight 0.1602–0.2199 (0.0146–0.0235) g. The fruit shape of both species was similar and the length/width ratio was 1.91–2.04 in B. croatica and 1.77–2.07 in B. vulgaris. The number of seeds per fruit was 1.23–1.58 in B. croatica and 1.36–1.54 in B. vulgaris. Generally, fruits and seeds of B. vulgaris were significantly longer, wider and heavier than fruits and seeds of B. croatica. ANOVA showed significant statistical differences between populations and years for all analyzed fruit and seed traits.
