• Label: Seed height
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0012615
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A seed morphology trait [TO:0000184] which is the shortest diameter [NCT:C120715] axis [NCIT:C25154] of a seed [PO:0009010] and is perpendicular to [PATO:0002434] the seed length [PATO:0000122] and seed width [PATO:0000921] axes.;Shorter width dimension of a seed; orthogonal to its length and width axes.
• Additional comments: Observations of this trait in AusTraits are almost certainly an undocumented mix of dimensions of true seeds and diaspores. When all or part of the fruit is not easily separated from the true seed, many researchers will have recorded and submitted a diaspore height, but labeled the data 'seed height. The intent of this measurement is that it excludes appendages, although it is likely some submitted measurements include small appendages that are not easily separated from the seed.
• units: mm
• allowable range: 0.01 - 1000 mm
