Özet
Gypsophila osmangaziensis, an endemic species from Eskisehir (Turkey) is here studied from the anatomical and micromorphological points of view for the first time. Root, stem and leaf cross-sections as well as seed, leaf and pollen grains surfaces are investigated. Root shows perennial characteristics. Pericycle layer of the stem is composed of sclerenchymatic cells that have 15-17 very thick, layered cell walls. Leaf mesophyll is isobilateral and partly carries druse crystals. Seed surface has an obtuse tubercle. Pollen shape is oblate spheroidal.
