Morphological, anatomical and ecological studies on Orchis simia (Orchidaceae) taxon of Eskişehir, Turkey

Abstract

In this study, in the present study reveals the morphological, anatomical and ecological characteristic of Orchis simia Lam. in Turkey. Plant materials of Orchis L. species were collected from one population, between 2018 in Eskişehir/Turkey. Orchis simia samples were analyzed for 5 morphological, 6 anatomical and soil characters and habitat properties. In morphological investigations, the structure of flower, lateral sepal, petal, dorsal sepal, lip, anther cap and column was determined. The findings were compared with those in Flora of Turkey. to habitat definition, Orchis simia grew up to 800 m to 1100 m. Also, Quercus cerris forests and glades were most common habitat of Orchis simia, found generally over calcareous soils.
