The anatomical properties of Salvia section (Lamiaceae) in central district of Mardin (Turkey) and their taxonomic implications

In this study, 4 Salvia species found in the section distributed Artuklu district
 of Mardin province were analyzed comparatively terms anatomy. Plant specimens Salvia
 collected from 11 localities. Anatomical studies performed on preserved
 70% alcohol. Transverse sections taken roots, stems, leaves, and petioles species
 examined under a light microscope for anatomical examination. The anatomy S. bracteata, S.
 macrochlamys, suffruticosa, trichoclada examined. suffruticosa was
 detail first time anatomically. data obtained as result researches were
 compared with previous section. examinations, it was observed
 that root, stem, leaf, petiole structures taxa similar but shapes measurements
 addition to number tissue layers pith rows are different. Also anatomically analyses,
 has been seen hairiness formed difference between some species. As all these
 discussed data, characters such ray collenchyma
 mesophyll shape midrib vascular bundles in
 petiole, provide important taxonomic information.
