Morphological and anatomical characterization of seedlings of three epiphytic cacti from a forest remnant in Maringá, Brazil. The study describes germination through a seed operculum and development of the root, hypocotyl, cotyledons and first shoot. It compares tissue organization, mucilage and calcium oxalate crystals, and early differences in rib number.
