AZIZE DEMIRPOLAT
Abstract
Genus Scandix is represented by 9 taxa in Turkey. They are among the medicinal and aromatic plants because of their uses for various medicinal purposes. In this study, morphological, morphometrical and anatomical features of the some Scandix species (Scandix stellata, Scandix iberica and Scandix aucheri)from Turkey were investigated to compare and determine the taxonomic importance of these characters in the genus patterns. As the results; description, synonyms, Turkish names, flowering times, habitat properties of each taxon are presented. For anatomical investigation, cross sections taken from stems, root and fruit of the species were examined under light microscope and measured. The three species were examined anatomically for the first time, S. stellata and S. aucheri were examined morphologically for the first time. In anatomical examinations, it was seen that stem, root and fruit structures of this species were similar. Keywords: Anatomy, Apiaceae, Morphology, Scandix, Turkey.
