Abstract

The paper deals with the anatomy of the shoot and the root of the species Centaurea rupestris L. and C. fritschii Hayek, endemic in the Balkans. The species show great correspondence in the internal structure indicating their close interrelationship. Some anatomical phenomena not described so far were established in the course of these studies. These are: the presence of a bundle sheat in medullary bundles, formation of stem pith hollow by lysigeny, and occurrence of inulin crystals in living plants.
