Seed bank and germination
Jayasuriya and his team found out that water uptake by manually scarified seeds was about 30 times greater than water uptake by non-treated seeds (2008)! This shows that S. humistrata exhibits physical seed dormancy. It does not require light for germination (Jayasuriya 2008).
