Abstract:

 

The morphological characteristics of the root, stem, leaf, flower, seed and fruit of Chrozophora tinctoria (L.) Rafin.  (Euphorbiaceae) distributed in West Anatolia were determined, and biometric measurements were taken from samples collected  from 42 different localities. This plant is a monoecious, annual herb, 28-63.50 cm. and stellate hairy. Its leaves are alternate and  their shapes vary from rombic-ovate to ovate-lanceolate. The leaves are bifacial and amphistomatous. Their stomatas are of the  amaryllis and parasitic types. The development of the root, stem, and leaves of the plant were observed when grown under various  fertilizer, soil, lime and watering conditions, and their biometric measurements were taken. The plant did not show any sign of  growth or development under shade and lime conditions. Fertilizer inhibited growth and development of the root while stimulating  the stems and leaves. IBA and Pokon hormones were not effective in vegetative propagation. The plant grows under various  conditions at altitudes of 0-1650 m.
