The seeds at four species of Fagaceae, i. e., Cyclobalanopsis gilva (Bl.) Oerst., C glauca (Thunb.) Oerst., C. morii (Hay.) Schott. and Quercus spinosa A. David were used to study the storage behavior. Seed viability decreased of these four species more rapidly at lower moisutrc content than at higher mois-ture content. Therefore, the seeds belong so the recalcitrant seed type. At cold wet storage seeds maintained the viability for at least one year. Fresh seeds of C. glauca and Q. spinosa didn't show dormancy. C. glauca began to germinate after eight months and Q. spinosa started to germinate about three months at wet storage. Fresh mature seeds of C. gliva and C. morii showed dormany that could be overcame by cold stratification. No presprouting was observed for the two latter species at cold wet storage for at least 12 months.
