Argyrolobium uniflorum is cleistogamous and its seed is highly polymorphic. For this study, seeds of 7-13 tufts of 23 origins, grouped into six different regions, and of 100 neighbouring tufts of one extra site were harvested. The pigmentations of the seed coat and of the hilum were observed and the germination capacity was compared as a function of the colour of the seed coat. The analysis of the distribution of different combinations intra and inter provenances shows large genotypic diversity. The discovery that tufts could be composed of several interlaced genotypes is explained by the endozoochory of this legume. To respect the basic principles of native seed production when introducing Argyrolobium uniflorum in a degraded site, it could be enough to spread manure from small ruminants fed on fruiting Argyrolobium uniflorum collected in the vicinity.
