Micromorphological comparison of Nepeta viscida, N. nuda subsp. nuda and their putative hybrids N. x tmolea
Abstract
In this study, two Nepeta species, Nepeta viscida, N. nuda subsp. nuda, and their putative hybrids N. x tmolea were investigated for their trichome structure and density. For this purpose, fresh or herbarium specimens were used. SEM photographs were taken with the standard techniques in Balıkesir University. While N. x tmolea individuals are similar to N. nuda subsp. nuda in some respects (for example, absence long glandular trichomes on the stem, the absence of glandular hairs on the corolla), it shows some transition between N. viscida and N. nuda subp. nuda in some respects (for example, while the corolla of N. viscida does not contain long glandular hair, presence in a high density in N. nuda subsp. nuda and low density in N. x tmolea individuals).
