A comparative study of morphological features of nutlets of female and bisexual specimens of Mentha arvensis from native flora of Moscow region is carried out. The seed productivity is defined. It is found that both sexual forms have similar morphometric parameters of one-seed fruits (nutlets) and a high rate of seed production – more than 90%.
