Loiseleuria is a monotypic genus of the family Ericaceae. The only species of this genus, L. procumbens, is an arctic-alpine element with a circumpolar distribution, found in the subarctic zone and in mountain ranges located further south. Results of earlier research on the structure of its fruits and seeds (Szkudlarz 2002) suggested that there are some differences between populations from different parts of its natural range of distribution. To verify this hypothesis, seed dimensions in samples from distant localities were compared in this study. The presented results indicate that in populations from Scandinavia seeds are generally shorter than in central Europe.
