is a monotypic genus which is in the family Caryophyllaceae. The plant is known
as ‘‘Ekinebesi’’ in Turkey. It has been recorded in pharmacopoeias and also it
has been cultivated as ornamental plant in Canada. The leaf anatomy <i> V. hispanica </i>has been <i> </i>determined, seed and chromosome
morphology have been confirmed in this study. Somatic chromosome number has
been determined as 2n=30 </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;line-height:107%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">.
