Seed coat morphology and plumule shape of dormant stage in Cicer species, involving wild annuals and perennials, were studied using scanning electron and stereoscopic microscopy. Three types of basic ornamentation patterns in seed coat surface, reticulate, tuberculate and granulate-papillate, were recognized in 13 species of Cicer. Six plumular types, PI, PII, PIII, PIV, PV and PVI, were determined among 17 species of Cicer. Character state analysis on molecular tree provides not clear-cut relationship among species for two traits, however, commonly sharing character states were partly found. Seed coat and plumular features were suggested to have taxonomic value for this genus. These analyses provide information for understanding of the close relationship among particular species of the genus Cicer.
