Morphological, Anatomical and Ecological properties and Conservation Strategies on the Endemic Crocus gargaricus Herb ssp. gargaricus and Muscari bourgaei Baker growing in Kazdağ Turkey

Abstract

In this study, the morphological, anatomical and ecological characteristics and conservation strategies of two endemic plant taxa Crocus gargaricus Herb. ssp. gargaricus and Muscari bourgaei Baker distributed in pseudo-alpinic area of Mount Ida were carried out. The characteristic features of C. gargaricus ssp. gargaricus were found out that its root cortex comprises of very large cells and gets smaller towards central cylinder, epidermal layer deeply dents in pieces in bulb anatomy and a parenchymatic structure including plentiful starch exists under epidermis, the cortex covers a large area in scape anatomy with angular structure. The characteristic features of M. bourgaei were revealed that its root cortex comprises of the cells with different sizes and they gets smaller towards central cylinder, parenchymatic structure existing under the epidermis includes plenty of druse crystal in bulb anatomy. Furthermore, in ecological examinations, the habitat features of the plants to grow and both the physical and chemical properties of the soil were determined. As the regions where the plants grew in Mount Ida are open to pasturage and especially to tourism, first of all, in-situ conservation strategy is obligatory for them. For this aim, in nature, conservation zones should be established
