The article presents the results of cytoembryological analysis of four cenopopulations of two Anthoxanthum L. species from the fl ora of the Saratov region: A. nitens (Weber) Y.Schouten & Veldkamp and A. repens (Host) Veldkamp. Embryological characters of Hieracium-type apospory and pseudogamy were recorded in plants of both species: (1) formation of several eight-nucleate seven-celled embryo sacs in the ovule; (2) development of the proembryo in unfertilized megagametophytes with intact polar nuclei.
