 Adenanthera pavonina L. (Piriquiti) is a pioneer Brazilian forest species belonging to the botanical family Fabaceae of characteristics that make it of important economic interest both for its high timber potential, as for ecology and uses as Ornamental plant. Some factors may be limiting to the germination of plant seeds, especially forest, conditions of salt stress can be one of the factors. The present study aimed to show the germination behavior of A. Pavonina when placed under conditions of saline stress, in different levels of NaCl salt, to point to future studies other possibilities of use for the species. The maximum limiting saline concentration found was 2.0% of sodium chloride, below this concentration does not hear statistical difference in the percentage of germination, however, the increase in the saline concentration up to the maximum limit, negatively affected the Germination velocity, levels above 2.0% were not observed germination.
