Morphological, karyological and palinological investigation of Minuartia anatolica (Boiss.) woron. var. anatolica and M. pestalozzae (Boiss.) bornm.

Morphologic, palinologic and karyologic research of Minuartia anatolica (Boiss.) Woron.var. anatolica and M. pestalozzae (Boiss.) Bornm. endemic for Flora of Turkey were studied.The descriptions of the taxa have beeen expanded. The spreading locations of taxa in Turkeyhave been determined and these locations with GPS data have been recorded. The drawingsand photographs of taxa samples have been firstly presented via this study. The polen grainsand seeds belonging to taxa samples have been taken photographs via scanninig electronmicroscope (SEM). Chromosome number of anatolica (Boiss.) Woron. var. anatolica and M.pestalozzae (Boiss.) Bornm. have been determined as the same, 2n=30. The basicchoromosome number is x=15. At the end of our study, the taxa aren?t close to each other havebeen understood. All properties belonging to taxa have been summerized in tables and dangercriterions of the taxa have been checked.
