Eryngium L. genus belongs to the Apiaceae family with about 250 species; it has a
cosmopolitan distribution practically all around the world. It is the most species of the
Apiaceae. 24 species (%46 of endemic) grow in Turkey. The species of Eryngium heldreichii
is known as E. bourgatii subsp. heldreichii in Flora of Turkey and East Aegean Islands. This
species is closely related to E. davisii. Differences are from E. davisii; shorter stem height,
prickly petiols, parted leaf segments up to half, prickly margin of bracts, linear-lanceolate
bracteols, oblong fruits without ridges, small vittae in mesocarp and crystals in endocarp.
Furthermore; E. davisii is contain Quercetin 3-glucoside and Apigenin 7-glucoside, E.
heldreichii is not contain this substance (flavonoids).
Keywords: Eryngium, Umbelliferae, E. heldreichii, E. davisii, Turkey.

In this study the anatomical and micromorphological characteristics of Peucedanum
ozhatayiorum Akpulat & E.Akal�n species which is new for Flora of Turkey are investigated.
Root, stem and leaf cross-sections are investigated for anatomical studies and leaf and fruit
surfaces are investigated for micromorphological studies. Outward of stem are filled with
lacunar collenchymatic cells. Paranchymatic cortex structure carry secretory canals. Vascular
bundles are in groups and their relation is provided by sclerenchyma cells. Leaf mesophyll is
dorsiventral and secretory canals are in this area. There is no bundle sheath around vascular
bundles which are collateral. In the micromorphological structure of leaf surface, short singlecelled
eglandular hairs are seen in binches through mid vein. Cells which contain little
undulate are observed in the micromorphological structure of fruit surface.
