Abstract :This work was designed to evaluate morphologic and micromorphological properties of leaf, cone and seed of some Juniperus species from Turkey: Juniperus drupacea (Caryocedrus section), Juniperus communis var. communis, Juniperus communis var. saxatilis, Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. oxycedrus, Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. macrocarpa (Juniperus section). Features of Juniperus species of leaf, cone and seed are investigated by Leica S8 Apo digital photomicrograph system and Jeol JSM 6490LV scanning electron microscope. The leaves usually carry double stomatal band on the inner surface except that J. communis subspecies. The resin pits number on the seed surface is varied 1-11. This resin pits on the seed surface was not observed in J. drupaceaKeywords : Juniperus, leaf morphology, cone morphology, seed morphology, Turkey
