Abstract
ABSTRACTT. orientalis is a monotypic genus and euxin element; grows in North Turkey, East Bulgaria and West Caucasia. Anthocyanin pigments are responsible for the attractive red to purple to blue colors of many fruits and vegetables. In this research anthocyanin contents and localization because of their possible health benefits in different organs of this plant were examined physiologically and anatomically. As a result, it was found that reproductive parts such as style, stigma, corolla, stamens, calyx, ovary and pedicel rather than the vegetative organs contains the highest concentration of anthocyanin and anthocyanin localization was seen in the vacuoles of the epidermal tissue, parenchymatic cells and trichomes in petiole and bract while petals have especially it in epidermal papillae.
