Zusammenfassung: | Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were used to investigate the macro and micro-morphology of seed of 17 species (12 genera) of Caryophyllaceae. All material studied was collected from North Anatolia (Square A3-A8 of Flora of Turkey). Three of the species are endemic for Turkey. Some important character states identified were: Seed type: Reniform, ovoid, reniform to orbicular, orbicular, peltate, scaled-winged, winged, cylinderical, ovoid to reniform; seed surface type: Flat-concave, flat, convex, winged crugosus aculeate, concavo-convex, rounded; tubercle shape: Tall/short conical, obtuse, rounded, flat and aculeate-verrucate, digitate; surface granulation: Medium, fine and coarse or not; suture outline: Digitate/serrate/ stellate/ sharply-sinuous, fine digitate and sharply serrate; hylar zone: Recessed, prominent, facial and flat. |
