STATISTICAL COMPARISON ON NUMERICAL ANATOMICAL VALUES OF CROCUS L . TAXA

This study aims to statistically compare the nümerical values of root and scape anatomy of 13 Crocus taxa. Anatomical variations in 13 Crocus L. taxa have been investigated by means of numerical methods (Analysis of variance and Pearson correlation). By the analysis of the investigated taxa from ten anatomy related characters, it has been determined that endodermis width, pericycle length and trache cell diameter are the best character pairs which represent the variations in them. It has been also found that the results from numerical analysis of the anatomy characters can provide additional anatomical evidences for recognition of the taxa.
