Abstract

The anatomical features of Peucedanum graminifolium Boiss. have been studied. This species is an endemic for Flora of Turkey. Root, stem and leaf cross-sections are investigated for anatomical studies and leaf surfaces are investigated for micromorphological studies. Outwards of stem are filled with sclerenchymatous cells. Paranchymatic cortex structure carry secretory canals. Vascular bundles are in groups and their relation is provided by sclerenchyma cells. Leaf mesophyll is paranchymatic and secretory canals are in vascular bundles on the lower surface side.
