Abstract
Ornithogalum alpigenum Stapf is endemic to Turkey. Its morphological, anatomical and caryological properties were investigated. Cross-sections of root, scape and leaf parts of the plant were examined. Raphide were observed in scape cross section. Most of the anatomical properties were similar to the other member of Hyacinthaceae family. Chromosome number was determined as 2n = 2x = 22 in O. alpigenum. The mitotic chromosome number and karyotype of the species are reported for the first time in present study. © 2015, Pakistan Botanical Society. All rights reserved.
