Seed Surface Analysis of Some Threatened Endemic Plants from Tahtalı Mountains Adana-Kayseri/Turkey

In this study, seeds morphology of the local endemic 8 species Anthemis antitaurica Grierson, Cirsium aytachii H.Duman & R.R.Mill, Jacobaea inops Boiss. & Balansa B.Nord., Grammosciadium confertum Hub.-Mor. & Lamond, Muscari macbeathianum Kit Tan, Silene balansae Boiss., Teucrium antitauricum Ekim, Verbascum hadschinense Freny & Sint. known only from Tahtalı range and the neighbouring mountains in South Anatolia were studied. These studied species has been presented with SEM pictures including both the general structures of the seeds and also the ornamentation details of them
