Anatomical, palynological, morphological, karyological, and ecological investigations on Gypsophila davisii

Gypsophila davisii Barkoudah, an endemic species from Mu？la (Turkey), was investigated for the first time as a whole in terms anatomy, morphology, ecology, karyology, and palynology. No druse crystals were observed in stems and roots of examined specimens in contrast to the known. Seeds are pyriform with shiny, smooth grooves on the surface. The pollen grains are polyporate, spheroidal, granulate-microechinate-microperforate. G. davisii has 30 somatic chromosomes (2n=30). The samples are compared morphologically with the description given in Flora of Turkey
