In this study, morphological, anatomical and palynological properties of Centaurea calcitrapa L. ssp. cilicica (Boiss. & Bal.) Wagenitz and C. solstitialis L. ssp. carneola (Boiss.) Wagenitz which are endemic for Turkey were investigated. In the morphological studies, the properties of these endemic subspecies were determined and measurements made on the materials and compared with floristic-systematical references. The morphology of capitula, involucra, involucral leaves (phyllaries) and achene have been investigated. In the anatomical studies; the transverse sections were taken from the root, stem, phyllaries and leaves of the subspecies. In the palynological researches Polar diameter, equatorial length and apertures were measured in detailed. Microphotographs of pollen and anatomical structures are also presented.
