| Summary: | <p>Four endemic taxa of <em>Onobrychis </em>Mill. genus, some of them being classified in the endangered threat category, were investigated for root and stem anatomy. <em>Onobrychis quadrijuga</em>, <em>O. argyrea</em> subsp. <em>argyrea</em>, <em>O. tournefortii</em> and <em>O. albiflora</em> were studied in regard to specific anatomy for the first time within the hereby study. Anatomical characters as the size and shape of the periderm, cortex, cambium cells in root and epidermis, collenchyma, cortex, cambium and pith cells in stem belonging to these four <em>Onobrychis </em>taxa were determined in detail. Based on the roots and stems measurements and analysis, specific anatomical differences between species were revealed.</p> |
