Pyrus demetrii (Rosaceae), a new record for Turkey, with observations on micromorphology of leaves
Abstract
The Caucasian species, Pyrus demetrii Kuth. has been reported from Turkey for the first time. The species was collected by the authors from both Georgia and Turkey. Leaf epidermis characters were studied by scanning electron microscopy to evaluate cuticle ornamentation, waxes and other relevant features of micromorphology.
