A Comparative Leaf Anatomy in The Genus Cistus L. (Cistaceae) Distributed in Turkey

Abstract

The genus Cistus L. (Cistaceae), generally growing in the Mediterranean region, is represented by
fve species in Turkey: C. creticus L., C. parviflorus Lam., C. laurifolius L., C. salviifolius L. ve C. monspeliensis L.
In this study, it is intended to contribute to the systematics of Cistus genus by conducting a comparative anatomical
study upon its species distributed in Turkey. The superfcial and cross-sections were taken by hand from the lamina
and petiyole, and photographs were taken after staining with phloroglucinol + HCl solution and examining under
the light microscope. The leaf anatomy of Cistus genus shows the general characteristics of Cistaceae family. As
a result of the analysis, it has emerged that facilitate the identifcation of Cistus species as signifcant characters,
such as the existence / absence of trichomes, types of glandular trichomes, the lateral veins in the mesophyll layer
whether to project in the direction of the abaxial epidermis, the lateral edges whether or not cambered, and the
presence of stomata on the leaf surface. A diagnostic key has been offered in the last part of the study, based on the
anatomical characters.

Türkiye’de Yayılış Gösteren Cistus L. (Cistaceae) Cinsinin Karşılaştırmalı Yaprak Anatomisi

Abstract

Genel olarak Akdeniz bölgesinde yayılış gösteren Cistus L. cinsi, Türkiye’de; C. creticus L., C. parviflorus
Lam., C. laurifolius L., C. salviifolius L. ve C. monspeliensis L. olmak üzere beş türle temsil edilmektedir:
Bu çalışmada, ülkemizdeki Cistus türlerinin yaprak anatomik yapıları incelenerek, cinsin sistematiğine katkı
sağlanması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada yaprakların, lamina ve petiyollerden enine ve yüzeysel kesitler alınmış ve
Floroglusinol+HCL solsyonu ile boyandıktan sonra Işık mikroskobunda incelenmiş ve fotoğrafları çekilmiştir.
Cistus cinsinin yaprak anatomisi Cistaceae familyasının genel karakteristik özelliklerini gösterdiği görülmüştür.
Gözlem sonucunda; trikom tipleri, mezofl tabakasındaki lateral damarların abaksiyal epidermise doğru çıkıntı
oluşturup oluşturmaması, petiyol lateral kenarlarının bombeli olup olmaması ve stomaların yaprak yüzeyinde
bulunup bulunmaması, Cistus türlerinin teşhisini kolaylaştıran önemli karakterler olarak ortaya çıkmıştır.
Çalışmanın son kısmında; bu anatomik karakterler esas alınarak bir teşhis anahtarı sunulmuştur
