Seed Morphology, Leaf Anatomy and Karyotype Analysis of the medicinal and ornamental plant; Vaccaria hispanica (Miller) Rauschert

Abstract

Vaccaria hispanica (Miller) Rauschert is a monotypic genus which is in the family Caryophyllaceae. The plant is known as ‘‘Ekinebesi’’ in Turkey. It has been recorded in pharmacopoeias and also it has been cultivated as ornamental plant in Canada. The leaf anatomy V. hispanica has been determined, seed and chromosome morphology have been confirmed in this study. Somatic chromosome number has been determined as 2n=30. Relative variation in chromosome length and mean centromeric asymmetry of the species has been estimated. The examined species has bifacial and amphistomatic leaf. The lower stomatal index was estimated at 27.14%, the upper stomatal index was estimated as 13.20%.
