COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGICAL ANATOMICAL AND PALYNOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THYMUS MIGRICUS KLOKOV & DES.-SHOST AND T. FEDTSCHENKOI RONNIGER VAR. HANDELII (RONNIGER) JALAS GROWN IN EAST ANATOLIA FATIH SATIL*, AYLA KAYA1, ADEM BIÇAKCI2, SIBEL ÖZATLI AND GÜLENDAM TÜMEN
Abstract: Thymus migricus Klokov & Des.-Shost., and T. fedtschenkoi
Ronniger var. handelii (Ronniger) Jalas are growing in Eastern
Anatolia. Thymus fedtschenkoi var. handelii is an endemic
species as the other is Iran-Turan element. Both the species have similar
morphological, anatomical and palynological features. However, some
differences have been determined in between species. T. migricus
is similar to T. fedtschenkoi var. handelii but bigger in
all its parts. Their leaves dimensions, lateral veins, hairs of outer
calyx surface and nutlets shape are morphological different. Exine sculpturing
is microreticulate in T. migricus while it is suprareticulate
in T. fedtschenkoi.var. handelii in pollen morphology.
