The ergastic substances of 394 temperate angiospermous seed samples belonging to 49 families have been investigated. Starch grains have been recorded in 24 taxa distributed in Acanthaceae (1), Caryophyllaceae (13), Chenopodiaceae (2), Primulaceae (2), Umbelliferae (4), Solanaceae (1) and Passifloraceae (1). Although there is no relationship between starch grain characteristics and phylogenetic position of the taxa investigated, the occurrence of starch grains is associated with herbaceous habit. Alkaloids, fats and oil, inulin, proteins and tannins are the other ergastic substances recorded during this study. The occurrence of these substances is rather sporadic. However, the complete lack of tannins in families like Apocynaceae, Asclepiadaceae, Campanulaceae, Convolvulaceae and Geraniaceae suggests that these families are phylogenetically more advanced than those with tannins.

Seeds of 110 species of the Nigerian Asteraceae were examined for fats and oils, proteins and starch using standard detection procedures. All the examined species except for 8 species were herbs. Fats and oils were found in all the species investigated comprising of both herbs and shrubs (100% detection rate). Protein bodies were found in 23 species. While starch grains were found to be absent in all the investigated species. There was no correlation between life forms and the nature of ergastic substances in the family. The results from this study did not support the changes of names in the revision of the tribe Vernonieae as such this character cannot be used as a delimiting species.
