Morphological, Micromorphological, and Anatomical Investigations on the Genus Physospermum (Apiaceae) from Turkey

Physospermum Cusson ex Juss. is a small genus of Apiaceae that is represented in Turkey by only one species, P. cornubiense (L.) DC. In this study, the morphological, micromorphological, and anatomical properties of P. cornubiense were investigated and the morphological findings were compared with the description in Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands (Chamberlain 1972). Some differences between our study and the description in Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands (Chamberlain 1972) are presented, as well as flowering time, a distribution map, and the photos of natural habitat. Also, the pollen characteristics and the mericarp surface of P. cornubiense were examined using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). In addition, its fruit anatomy was studied for the first time in detail.
