200 species worldwide and represented with 71 taxa 56% of which are endemic in Turkey. <i>Acantholimon anatolicum, A. ulicinum </i>var. <i> ulicinum, A. gemicianum </i>, <i>A. riyatguelii </i> and <i>A. acerosum </i> var. <i>acerosum </i> are discussed in the current study
due to their similar habitats. Although <i>Acantholimon
anatolicum, A. ulicinum </i>var. <i> ulicinum,
A. gemicianum </i> are morphologically and taxonomically very similar to each other, <i>Acantholimon riyatguelii </i>and <i>A. acerosum </i> var. <i>acerosum </i> are different
than other species with scale (2-3 not 4-5) and scapes lengths. To understand the
relationships among these taxa, morphological, palynological, and molecular structures
were studied. Both LM and SEM were used to obtain the morphological characters and
ITS nuclear gene region was amplified for molecular characteristics of taxa. According
to the data, in addition to the morphological similarities there are also palynological
and molecular similarities. </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb"> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={ABADER (Adıyaman Bilimsel Araştırmalar Derneği)}
