EPİDERMAL LEAF MİCROMORPHOLOGY OF SOME TANACETUM L. (ASTERACEAE) TAXA IN TURKEY
Abstract
In this study we have examined leaf
micromorphology of eight taxa of Tanacetum
L. which are spread out in Turkey. The taxa are T. balsamita L. subsp. balsamita,
T. balsamita L. subsp. balsamitoides, T. argenteum subsp. flabellifolium,
T. argenteum subsp. argenteum, T. argenteum subsp. canum,
T. depauperatum, T. haradjanii, T. tomentellum.
Although the leaf characteristic has rather limited systematic value, the
combination of some of these features could be systematically relevant,
especially for the identification of species. According to our findings the
leaves of eight taxa are amphistomatic and covering trichomes very frequent and
unicellar. Our goal is contribute to taxonomy of Tanatcetum L. which has systematic problems.
