Morphological investigations of the stem and leaf characteristics, flower and flower characteristics were specified. In addition, flowering times of the species, characteristics of the habitat and the altitude information were given. In anatomical examinations, root, stem and leaf characteristics were determined. Also, stomata and epidermal cell of leaves were examined. In conclusion, the similarities and differences of three Convolvulus L. species in terms of both morphological and anatomical features were discussed.
