Abstract

In this study, the seed coat surfaces of Veronica bozakmanii M. A. Fischer, V. arvensis L., V. polita Fries, V. triphyllos L., V. hederifolia and V. cymbalaria which had grown in European Turkey were scanned by scanning electron microscope for the first time. Testa surface characteristics and micromorphological properties of examined Veronica species were determined and given comparatively which was important for the identification of the species systematically.
