Abstract

Bellis L. Belonging to the family Asteraceae and has been included in subtribe Asterinae (tribe Astereae). In the present work, the morphological characters, stem, petiole and leaf anatomy, pollen micromorphology of Endemic Bellis sylvestrisvar. cyrenaicafrom Libya has been investigated on light and scanning electron microscope. Bellis sylvestrisvar. cyrenaicais an endemic species from Libya and limited information about the native taxon. All morphological, anatomical, and palynological characteristics are firstly determined in this study. Palynology study showed that pollen characters were found medium size, oblate spheroidal, tricolporate, and echinate ornamentation of the studied taxon. Seed micromorphological features were also given.
