Morpho-anatomical and palynological studies on Glaucosciadium cordifolium (Apiaceae) from Turkey

Background and Aims: The aim of the present study was to determine morphological, micromorphological, anatomical palynological characteristics Glaucosciadium cordifolium (Boiss.) B.L. Burtt & P.H. Davis Methods: Measurements were performed on approximately 30 different samples for morphological study. fruit micromorphologies pollen properties examined using scanning electron microscopy. For studies, all sections prepared from stem, leaf taken by hand. Results: Cross-sections are a detailed description is presented supported photographs. It glaucous perennial herb with height 34-180 cm which has an acrid smell when bruised. dry schizocarp, glabrous oblong-elliptic. mericarp elliptic in transverse section winged lateral. surface ornamentation genus occasionally wavy striped upper simple, short scaly. stomata observed. Conclusion: In this study, described illustrated first time. addition, results confirmed stenopalynous characteristic family Apiaceae, revealed that grains perprolate shape.
