Type: article
Abstract: For clarification of processes of adaptation in new conditions of growth are investigated the features of seeds germination and seedlings morphology of 5 species of the genus Pittosporum Banks ex Sol.: P. tobira (Thunb.) W.T. Aiton., P. heterophyllum Franch., P. undulatum Vent., P. crassifolium Banks & Sol. ex A. Cunn., P. illicioides Makino. It is revealed that the elevated type of germination is inherent in all studied species of a genus. The first sprouts appear over a soil surface (depending on specie) at the 15–77th day after germination. The shortest this period is noted at P. undulatum, the longest – in P. crassifolium. It is revealed that duration of the pregenerative period in P. tobira, P. illicioidess, P. undulatum, P. heterophyllum is 2–3 years, in P. crassifolium – 4–6 years.
