Özet
The wood anatomy is described of five Rhamnus species endemic in the Mediterranean region of Turkey, and ecological adaptations are discussed. The wood of all species is drought-adapted with low mesomorphy values (range 11-23), high vessel frequencies (277-457/mm(2)), spiral thickenings, low vessel diameters (22-35 mu m) and short vessel elements (189240 mu m). The vessels are grouped in a dentritic pattern with abundant vasicentric and vascular tracheids.
