英文摘要	Turkey is one of the richest areas in the middle latitudes in terms of plant diversity. The main reasons for this are; climates varieties, geomorphological and soil diversities, and the situation of the area at the junction of three flora region (Euro-Siberian, Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian). When all these factors are combined, it provides many properties for the plants to grow up and discrepant. The flora of Turkey is relatively rich (about 12 000 species) and still a great number of new species are being described. In this flora, there are a lot of interesting species such as halophytic species (especially Chenopodiaceae sp.), semi-desert plants (Anabasis aphylla), carnivorous plants (Drosera anglica) and nickel hyperaccumulators. In Turkey, the rate of endemism is relatively high when compared with other European countries. While the rate of endemism is greater than 30% in Turkey, it is 14,9% (Greece), 2,9 % (France), 18,6% (Spain), or 0,1% (Poland) in some other European countries. The number of endemic species in Turkey is greater than 3000. Verbascum and Astragalus are the genus that the rate of endemism is greater. Furthermore, there are endemic plants in genus' level. If these endemic plants are considered, serpentine endemics are relatively important. For example, there are 27 endemic taxa Alyssum. However, this diversity and these endemic plants are under considerable threat. The habitats in mountainous areas and coastal dunes are under the threat of human beings due to the tourism activities. Especially Turkey's mountains are centers for collection of wild bulbs, and during the 1980s wild stocks of particular bulbous species were increasingly targeted by the horticultural trade. Wild harvesting is damaging the bulbous plant populations. The wildlife in Turkey is having hard time in regenerating as the other countries on Earth. That is the reason why it really is significant to protect the diversity of plants.
