A Morphological and Systematical Study on Nepeta cataria L. (Lamiaceae) Distributed in the Adıyaman Province

Abstract

In this study morphological characters of N. cataria L. was examined which has distributed in Adıyaman province for the systematic purposes. At the result of the morphological studies leaf shape, leaf indu- mentum, gynoecium, androecium, corolla, calyx, seed and connection laments to theca was determined by stereo microscope and compared with characters in Flora of Turkey. In addition, stem indumentum, leaf indumentum, pollen and seed characters of N. cataria is examined by SEM.

Adıyaman’da Yayılış Gösteren Nepeta Cataria L. (Lamiaceae) Türü Üzerinde Morfolojik ve Sistematik Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Adıyaman ilinde yayılış gösteren N. cataria L. türünün morfolojik özellikleri sistematik açı- dan araştırıldı. Stereo mikroskop ile yapılan morfolojik çalışmalar sonucu türlerin yaprak şekli, yaprak tüy örtüsü, ginekeum, androkeum, korolla, kaliks, tohum ve lamentin tekalara birleşme özellikleri belirlendi ve Türkiye Flo- rası’nda ki özellikleriyle karşılaştırıldı. Ek olarak N. cataria türünün gövde ve yaprak tüy örtüsü, polen ve tohum özellikleri SEM ile incelenmiştir.
