Abstract:In this paper, by analysing the structure of achenes shapes of over seven hundred species tesources, it shows that no matter its shafes, it comfosed of length width and thickness, as a resurt of the different profortion of length, width and thickness. There are various kinds of achenes shapes Taking the length and the ratio of width and Length as the basis of classification and of distinguishing standard of shapes, respectively, the classification standard of four types and four shapes(sixteen shapes)was first ckarly raised, This classifying method has been used as standard of compilling the catacogue of sunflower species resources in China.
