Abstract

In this study, S. nigra L. and S. ebulus L. (Adoxaceae) species belonging to the Sambucus genus were examined. Species of the genus were collected from northern Turkey and anatomical comparisons were made. Stem and leaf anatomy were examined by light microscopy. The plants have woody stem anatomy. The druse crystals which are the main anatomical characters of the genus were observed in the examined taxa. Differences were found in the number of cells of the vascular bundles, the arrangement of the druze crystals, and the shapes of the abaxial and adaxial epidermis cells in the leaf. In addition, differences were observed in the margin shape and collenchyma cell numbers on the stem.
