Abstract :This study is a further contribution to a series describing perforated ray cells and the wood anatomy of some Dicotyledons families and their taxa indigenous to Turkey: Berberis vulgaris L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Berberidaceae);, Colutea armena Boiss & Huet insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fabaceae);, Coronilla emerus L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fabaceae);, Chamaecytisus hirsutus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(L.); Link. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fabaceae);, Cytisus villosus Pourr. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fabaceae);, Hedera helix L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Araliaceae);, Paliurus spina-christii Mill. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Rhamnaceae);, Pistacia lentiscus L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Anacardiaceae);, Salix triandra L. subsp. triandra L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Salicaceae);, Sambucus nigra L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Caprifoliaceae);, Staphylea pinnata L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Staphyleaceae);, Tamarix smyrnensis Bunge insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Tamaricaceae);, Vitis silvestris Gmelin. and V. vinifera L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Vitaceae);. Perforated ray cells were found either isolated or together in groups, localised at the end of uniseriate and multiseriate rays and in the body of multiseriate rays according to taxa. Perforation types of perforated ray cells usually coincide with perforation plates of vessel, and are larger than adjacent ray cells.
