The plant fruit system consists of bi-layered calyx, capsule 5-partitioned, with hairs and o lot of seeds. From determinations resulted in a 10-11 extern bracteoles and intern calyx of 16 mm height and 12 mm width. The capsule weighted 160 mg, had a length of 10 mm, width of 7 mm, and the hairs were 2.5 mm in length. One capsule were formed 26 seeds, which had an average weight of 91 mg, a length of 1.9 mm, width 1.6 mm, and the TSW 3.5 g. Between different characters have been established all correlations. Among the negatives were noted between the number of seeds from a capsule with: seed dimensions (r = -0.26600 for length, r = -0.373000 for width, and thousand seeds weight (TSW) (r = -0.362000). Positive correlations were evident between calyx width with capsule weight (r = 0.285*) and between seed dimensions with TSW (r = 0.253** for length, r = 0.235*** for width). Overall plant proved enough large variability that demonstrate high ability to adapt and compete in the agricultural field.
