In this study, the morphological and anatomical features of Tulipa orphanidea (Liliaceae) were investigated.
The specimens were collected from Edirne-\Üy\ükl\ütatar village in April-May of 2009. A detailed description
of the plant and of the features of its vegetative organs is provided, and the morphological features of the
species are also compared with those reported in the Flora of Turkey. For anatomical investigation, sections
of the root, stem, and leaf were cut manually with a razor blade. The adventive root, stem, and leaf anatomy of
the species display the common properties of monocotyledons. The stem contains monolayer collenchyma
close to the epidermis. The leaves are amphistomatic, and the mesophyll is unifacial.
