Species from the Leguminosae family are used in Agroforestry Systems. Their successful implementation depends on basic information about the species that constitute each extract. Hymenaea intermedia var. adenotricha is a specie from the leguminosae family with potential to be used in agroforestry in the Amazon region. The seeds were harvested from plants found in the natural forest of Petroleum Province Urucu Harbor. The studies were carried out under laboratory and nursery conditions at the Agrarian Sciences College the Amazonas University. H. intermedia var. adenotricha seeds are eurispermic, the tegument showed stone consistency when dehydrated and soft consistency when hydrated. The seed tegument showed four cellular strata, the first layer was formed by thin cells organized in a palissade. The embryon axis was yellow green. The cotyledons were fleshy with a hidden radicle. The plumule is rudimentary. The seed germination is phanero-epigeal, showing curved body during its emergency. The seedling showed tap-root root system, the axial primary root was woody grooved and glabrous. The secondary roots were resinous, short, slightly ramified but interlaced and showed no nodules. The protophyll exhibited compound asymmetric leaflets which were slightly falcade and oblonge. The first metaphyll presented compound asymmetric leaflets with slightly falcade-oblonge shape.
