| Numerıcal Taxonomıc Studıes On Some Centaurea L. Specıes
After explaining the characters of Compositae and Centaurea L. genus, information about numerical taxonomy and its applications were given. Morphological investigations the taxa which includes C. cassia Boiss., C. lycopifolia Boiss. & Kotschy, C. cheirolopha (Fenzl) Wagenitz , C. spicata Boiss., C. ptosimopappa Hayek, C. solstitialis subsp. L. solstitialis, C. iberica Trev., C. calcitrapa L. subsp. calcitrapa, C. urvillei DC. subsp. armata Wagenitz, C. antiochia Boiss. var. antiochia belong Centaurea L. were made and these morphological characters were used in numerical analysis of these taxa. The nearest and furthest taxa from each other were determined and these findings were compared with cladistic taxonomic results. Numerical taxonomic results are similar with Flora of Turkey. Additionaly, the most effective characters which were used to separate the taxa were determined and compared with the characters used in Flora of Turkey. Minimum and maximum values of apendage broad and minimum value of apendage length which did not use in Flora of Turkey are effective characters to explaining the variation between these taxa.
