Abstract
In the present study, nutlet micromorphological features of five Thymus species growing in NE Iran were examined. For this purpose, nutlet shape and ornamentation were assessed using SEM. The results indicated that theP/E of nutlet, abscission scar position, cell shape, anticlinal wall and periclinal surface varied among the studied species. Finally an identification key was prepared basis on the mentioned characteristics for species under study.
