A Morphological And Anatomical Study On Anchusa Leptophylla Roemer & Schultes (Boraginaceae) Distributed In The Black Sea Region Of Turkey, Tülay Aytaş Akçi̇n, Şenay Ulu

Turkish Journal of Botany

The morphological and anatomical characteristics of Anchusa leptophylla Roemer & Schultes subsp. leptophylla and A. leptophylla subsp. incana (Ledep) Chamb. (Boraginaceae), which are distributed in the Black Sea region, were investigated. The morphological features of various organs of the plant such as the stem, flower, and fruit are given in detail. Features related to characteristics of the leaf and calyx were found to be important in separating the subtaxa morphologically. The shape of leaves is usually linear-lanceolate in A. leptophylla subsp. incana, while it is linear in subsp. leptophylla. In anatomical studies, cross-sections of the root, stem, and leaf parts, …
