The anatomical and micromorphological characteristics of Salvia vermifolia Hedge & Hub.-
Mor. (Sect. Aethiopis, Lamiaceae) are studied using light microscopy (LM) and scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) for the first time. S. vermifolia is a perennial endemic herb
growing on igneous and serpantine slopes in south of Sivas in Central Anatolia. According to
the results of the anatomical investigations, stems are composed of 4-8-collenchymatous
tissue, 1-3-layered chlorenchymatous tissue, vascular bundles separated by parenhymatous
cells, blades are amphistomatic, bifacial, with 2-3-layered palisade cells on the adaxial,
midribs comprise one or two larger bundles that are very close to each other, and petioles
have three large central bundles and three small subsidiary bundles. S. vermifolia carries
peltate and capitate glandular trichomes, as wel as, non-glandular trichomes. The capitate
glandular and non-glandular trichomes can be divided into several types. The peltate
glandular trichomes are abundant on the calyx and corolla and capitate glandular trichomes
are predominant on the calyx, corolla, inflorescence axis, pedicel and petiole. The acicular
non-glandular tirchomes are mainly distributed on the calyx, corolla, inflorescence axis and
pedicels, wherea the floccose non-glandular trichomes are common on the both sides of the
leaf, inflorescence axis and petiole. The nutlets are 2.70-2.90 mm long and 1.90-2.13 wide,
brown, ovoid-oblong in their outline and their surface is glabrous and colliculate.

In the research area Bart�n-Ulus hasbeen done to establish the plants in the area that will be
under the lake dam . In he research area 525 taxa belonging to 94 families , 102 subspecies
and 42 varieties have been determined. This reseach area is in the Euro-Siberian flora region.
According to the data the flora regions of the taxa are 26.36 %wide spread, 20.50 % Euro-
Siberian, 10.04 % Mediterranean, 5.65 % Euxine, 2.30 % Iran-Turan, 1.05 % Hyrcano-Euxine
and the plants whose flora regions aren’t known are 34.10 %, The plants determined in the
study area are Spermatophyta 97 %(509 taxa) and 11%(57 taxa) of this are Monocotyl and
89% (452 taxa) are Dicotyl.3% of the taxa are the elements of Pteridophyta. Also 85%(447
taxa) of the defined taxa are herbaceus and 15%(78) are woody.This are isn’t one of the areas
whose endemism proportion is high.
