Abstract

In this research, the genera Asperula L., Galium L.; Asperula xylorrhiza Nábelek (siirt belumotu), Asperula orientalis Boiss. & Hohen. (gökçe belumotu), Asperula arvensis L. (tarla belumotu), Galium humifusum M.Bieb. (çimen iplikçiği), Galium consanguineum Boiss. (altın iplikçik), Galium incanum L. subsp. elatius (Boiss.) Ehrend.(gür iplikçik), Galium consanguineum Boiss. (altın iplikçik), Galium mite Boiss. & Hohen. (süpürge iplikçiği), Galium spurium L. subsp. spurium (arsız iplikçik) of the family Rubiaceae, have been studied in terms of palynological properties. Examples of these taxa were collected in the field studies. 9 taxa light microscopy (IM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) belonging to this family were studied. As a result of this study some common traits of the taxa found out such as pollen the tectum is perforated, apertures type is zonocolpate.
