Abstract: The percentages of germination of the seeds of Gastrodia elata on different days after pollination were studied under sterile condition. The result shows that within certain period before the dehiscence of the capsule (about 1/4 of thetime required from pollination to dehiscence), the percentages of germination of different day old seeds are similar and higher than 85%.

Key words: relation, between, percentage, germination
