Abstract
This study was conducted in order to determine certain plant traits and inter-trait relationships in the Helianthemum ledifolium (L.) Miller var. lasiocarpum (Willk.) Bornm. taxon which grows naturally in the protected area at the campus of Dicle University in 2015 and 2016. In the average results of research for two years, the plant height was found as 30.04 cm, the number of main stem per plant 1.02, the main stem diameter 1.24 mm, the number of branch per plant 1.06, the capsule number per plant 4.04, the capsule diameter 7.21 mm, the seed number per capsule 158.5, the seed weight per capsule 0.065 g, the 1000 seed weight 0.421 g, the seed yield per plant 0.265 g, and the germination rate 0.5%. Also, it was determined that crude protein ratio as 18.79%, ADF ratio 26.23%, NDF ratio 49.21%, calcium ratio 1.14%, magnesium ratio 0.04%, phosphor ratio 0.42% and potassium ratio 3.79%. According to the correlation analysis which was done to detect the relationships between examines traits, positive and highly significant association was found between properties. As a result of the analysis and observations made, it is concluded that Helianthemum ledifolium (L.) Miller var. lasiocarpum (Willk.) Bornm is important in many respects. It would be useful to reveal unknown aspects of this plant species by carrying out new researches.
