Comparative anatomical and morphological studies on six Muscari species (Asparagaceae)

Abstract

In this paper, the anatomical and morphological traits of six Muscari species were examined and the taxonomical relationships were assessed by assisting of these characters. Except from Muscari macrocarpum, the others are endemic species for our country and they could be counted as M. bourgaei, M. sandrasicum, M. racemosum, M. turcicum and M. vuralii. In scope of morphometric analyses, many numbers of morphologic and anatomic characters were used to determine the diagnostic of Muscari species and the created dendrogram gave very important information about them. Taxonomical obtained results supported the previous taxonomical assignments meaningfully in Flora of Turkey. The outcomes revealed that the taxa were similar in some aspects with such as sterile flowers, thick cuticle of scape and two rowed vascular bundles of scape. However, some features belonging to scape, leaves and flowers were primarily diagnostic characters among taxa, and they were founded having taxonomic value in the distinction of these taxa from each other.
