The genus Calamintha is distributed in Europe, Eastern Mediterranean region, Central Asia,<br />
North Africa and Americas. In Turkey it is represented by 9 species and 12 taxa, five being<br />
endemic to Turkey. The ratio of endemism is over 45%. Calamintha pamphylica Boiss. &<br />
Heldr. subsp. alanyense S. Alan & A. Ocak has been published in 2007.<br />
Calamintha is known as Güzel Nane, Da� Nanesi, Miskotu, T�bbi Miskotu, Yabani O�ulotu<br />
and used as folk medicine in Turkey. It also has horticultural uses.<br />
The species of Calamintha growing in Turkey, have been anatomically investigated. In<br />
anatomical studies, internal structures of roots, flowering stems of species have been<br />
investigated. In all species collenchyma is found on the corner of herbaceus stems. In all<br />
species, there are a difference between the cell numbers of covering hairs and glandular hairs<br />
of stems.<br />

Galanthus L. belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family, consists of 19 species (22 taxa) and it is<br />
represented by 12 species (14 taxa) and one hybrid in Turkey. G. elwesii has a wide natural<br />
distrubution and can be found in Bulgaria, northeastern Greece, the eastern Aegean Islands,<br />
southern Ukraine and Turkey. Within Turkey, this species has the widest distrubution among<br />
others and naturally grow in northwestern, western and southern Anatolia: Edirne, Adapazar�,<br />
Bolu, Yozgat, Ankara, Eski�ehir, Afyon, �zmir, Isparta, Konya, Karaman, Ni�de and Antalya<br />
provinces. In this study, morphological features of G. elwesii has been investigated. Leaf and<br />
flower morphology were studied on live material, both in the field and in cultivation, and<br />
herbarium specimens. Relations with the similiar species were shown with photos.<br />
