Type: article

Abstract: Tradescantia fluminensis Vell. (Commelinaceae) has been recorded as a new naturalised alien species for the flora of Turkey from NE Anatolia. Its description, detailed leaf and stem anatomical properties, measurements, and photographs are presented in this paper. It was observed that the stems have a primary structure, the central cylinder comprises 2 concentric rings of closed collateral vascular bundles, and the leaves are bifacial and hypostomatic, with tetracytic stomata cells. In addition, it was determined that the thickness of the leaf lamina is 326 ± 4.79 µm and average of stomatal length and stomatal index in the abaxial surface of the leaf is 51.70 ± 0.33 µm and 12.54 ± 1.33, respectively.
