“…Both Macro and micro morphological types of seeds play an important role in taxonomic identification and classification (Fawzi, ; Hosny and Zareh, ; Javadi and Yamaguchi, ; Sa'ad, ). Previous literature has also shown that seed coat morphology can be used for identification purpose (Karakish et al, ).…”

Climate change is the most realistic theory of this era. Sudden and drastic changes are happening on the earth and the survival of mankind is becoming questionable in the future. The plants play the key role in controlling the climate change. The study emphasizes on role of trees in the cop up or damaging the climate of this earth, whether they are medicinal trees or economically important trees. Due to the overgrazing and intense deforestation the climate is being affected hazardously. The global warming phenomenon is occurring due to the less availability of trees and more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In total 20 plants were collected from across the Pakistan on the basis of their abundance and their key roles. Out of which seeds of eight plants were scanned through scanning electron microscope for correct authentication and importance of these medicinally important trees in mitigating the climate change. Research Highlights• The role of forest sector in the climate's change mitigation.• Medicinally and economically important tree species across Pakistan.• By using SEM, Ultra seed sculpturing features as an authentication tool.• To formulate some policies to stop or control deforestation.

“…Several studies on the seed coat micro-morphology of the legume taxa were performed by various authors (Murthy and Sanjappa 2002, Kirkbride et al 2003, Salimpour et al 2007, Al-Ghamdi et al 2010, Bacchetta & Brullo 2010, Fawzel 2011, Gandhi et al 2011, Brullo et al 2011a, Brullo et al 2013, who used several characters to resolve systematic problems. In fact, seed sculptures are usually considered as a conservative and stable character, having relevant taxonomical and phylogenetic implications.…”

Bituminaria basaltica is described and illustrated from Filicudi, an islet of the Aeolian Archipelago (Sicily, Italy). This new species, belonging to a small genus of Fabaceae occurring in the Mediterranean region and the Canary Islands, is morphologically distinct from the other taxa in the following features: leaf shape and size, inflorescence size, petal colour, size and shape of flowers, pods and seeds. Its relationships with the known species of Bituminaria are examined and a key to the genus is provided.

“…Sculpturing of seed coat surfaces has been successfully employed in the identification and classification of many different taxa (Boesewinkel and Bouman, 1984;Murthy and Sanjappa, 2002;Yildiz, 2002;Vural et al, 2008;Fawzi, 2011;Dadandı and Yıldız, 2015).…”

Lotus is a taxonomically difficult genus. No worldwide taxonomic studies for the whole genus have been produced since the monograph of Brand (1898). A comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus is needed (Degtjareva et al., 2006). In Egypt, Lotus L. is represented by 18 taxa (Boulos, 2009). The species of Lotus constitute complexes of closely related groups with similar vegetative characters, including seasonal polymorphisms (Heyn, 1970), and it is difficult to distinguish among the species (Ojeda et al., 2009). Several studies have demonstrated the use of micromorphological characters to differentiate between some taxa
