Morpho-anatomical observations on three Romulea (Iridaceae) taxa of Turkey
The morphological and anatomical features of some vegetati ve and generative organs of three Romulea taxa (Romulea bulbocodium var. bulbocodium (L.) Seb. & Mauri, Romulea bulbocodium (L.) Seb. & Mauri var. crocea (Boiss. & Heldr.), Romulea bulbocodium (L.) Seb. & Mauri var. leichtliniana (Heldr. ex HaI.) Bég. from the flora of Turkey have been investigated in this research for the first time. The morphological characteristics of organs such as corm, leaf, flower and the generai outlooks (habitus) of ali taxa have been given along with pictures in the section ofmorphology. The grooves, papillae, mesophyll and the distribution ofthe vascular bundles in just transverse sections of the leaf lamina ha ve been shown with microphotographs in the section of anatomy.
