Palm trees are plants in the Arecaceae family operated and grown for several purposes, including the ornamental. The spread of palm trees is done almost exclusively by seed, however, there is wide variation in the germination process, influenced by several factors, ambient temperature and time between harvesting and storage. The species Ptychosperma macarthurii popularly known as palm-of-macarthur, is a species of ornamental value and has been the subject of studies on the process of the propagation. Therefore, this work was to study the effect of temporary storage on the germination of seeds. The experimental design was completely randomized. For the study of storage were used 7 treatments (planting soon after collection, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 weeks), with 4 replicates of 25 diaspores (seeds with endocarp attached). The seeds were placed in plastic box (type boxes) containing vermiculite that were in a germination chamber at 25 ° C, because the stored seeds remained in the laboratory. We calculated the germination percentage and index of germination speed performed the analysis of polynomial regression. It was concluded that the germination of freshly harvested seeds was similar to those stored, however, germination was faster each week of storage, and a decrease in the sixth week.
