Abstract :In this study, general morphological characteristics, the leaf and wood anatomical characteristics and, leaf micromorphological features of Rhamnus microcarpa , which is native in Artvin were investigated in detail. Leaves broadly ovate, 3.0-5.5 x 1.9-3.9 cm; stipules 4-7 mm; pinnately 7-10 veined; petiol 6-15 mm. Bud scales dark brown transverse band at the base.   Wood was semi-ring porous to ring porous, rays heterocellular, fibers thick-walled especially in latewood. In leaves, dorsiventral mesophyll, hypostomatic type stomata and simple unicellular trichomes observed. Also, epicuticle scales in the lower leaf surface observed.
