Abstract

In this study, the morphology, palynology, fruit micromorphology and anatomy of Sanicula europaea L. were studied. The morphological description of S. europaea is expanded. Pollen morphology of the species was examined by SEM and LM, and the micromorphological characters of the fruit were also examined by SEM. Cross-sections of mature fruits were examined, and a detailed anatomical description is presented.
