Greece is considered a diversity center for the genus Trifolium L. (Fabaceae), which is represented in the country by 95 taxa. However, the classification of the genus may vary according to different taxonomic approaches. The current study aims to contribute to the study of the genus by describing the seed coat surface of 23 Trifolium taxa that were collected in various localities of southern Greece. The seeds were obtained from herbarium specimens and observed with Scanning Electron Microscope.
