Abstract
The genus Grammosciadium is a member of the family Apiaceae and has four taxa namely G. daucoides, G. macrodon subsp. macrodon, G. macrodon subsp. nezaketiae and G. cornutum distributed in Turkey. Because the fruit anatomical characters are distinctly important for the taxonomy of the family Apiaceae, this study includes the detailed anatomy of the fruits of the genus. Moreover, some measurements from the fruit anatomy are given. Besides the general anatomy of them, the taxa are evaluated by both qualitative characters such as mericarp types and clarity of ribs and quantitative characters such as number of vascular bundles, number of vittae, size of mericarp, vittae, endosperm and vascular bundles. All the data presented in this research study may be used as a basis for all possible research on the taxonomy of the family and the genu.

The genus Grammosciadium is a member of the family Apiaceae and has four taxa namely G. daucoides, G. macrodon subsp. macrodon, G. macrodon subsp. nezaketiae and G. cornutum distributed in Turkey
The anatomical characters of the genus Grammosciadium DC. were firstly discussed by Townsend [1], Tamamschian, and Vinogradova [2] who indicated the importance of fruit anatomy
There are several current studies that explain the differences in the Apiaceae fruit anatomy [3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
Summary
DFC295 camera attached to a Leica DM3000 microscope. The measurements given, were performed from 10 different slices of three different fruits, and the average values were calculated from a minimum of 30 values for each character. The terminology for the characters has been written by using previous studies [2, 19, 20]. Some data from a previous master's thesis were used [21]. The materials, used for anatomical studies, were gathered from the taxa collected in 22 different localities [16]. All the fruits were sectioned from their middle part by modified Paraffin Sectioning Method [17] using Thermo Shandon Finesse325 microtome. The slices were dyed by applying safranin and fast green [18].
