Özet

Smyrnium olusatrum L. is a biennial, stout plant which is growing naturally in North, West and South Turkey. It is used as food only in some localities of Turkey. In this study, fruits of S. olusatrum were examined with a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) for micromorphological research. Also transverse sections of fruit, peduncle and leaf were examined for anatomical studies. The aim of this study is to identify it clearly on the basis of anatomy and micromorphology.
