THE ANATOMICAL AND MICROMORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE<br />

OF<br />

GYPSOPHILA OSMANGAZIENSIS ATA�LAR & A. OCAK<br />

(CARYOPHYLLACEAE)<br />

Ebru ATA�LAR<br />

University of Eski�ehir Osmangazi, Faculty of Science and Literature, Department of Biology,<br />

In this study the anatomical and micromorphological characteristics of Gypsophila<br />

osmangaziensis which is new for Flora of Turkey are investigated. Root, stem and leaf crosssections<br />

are investigated for anatomical studies and seed and leaf surfaces are investigated for<br />

micromorphological studies. Root show perennial characteristics. Cortex layer carries druse<br />

crystal densely. Pericycle layer of stem is composed of sclerenchymatic cells which have 15-<br />

17 line, very thick cell wall. Huge triangle-like shapes of some cells in leaf epidermis draw<br />

attention. Mesophyll is isobilateral and carry druse crystal partly. Seed surface is of obtus<br />

tubercule. In the micromorphological structure of leaf, huge cells of epidermis can be<br />

observed in details.<br />
