Abstract

This research was carried out between 2004 and 2006 in order to determine the medicinal plants used by the people of Bahçe and Hasanbeyli, Osmaniye province, Turkey. As a result of interviews with the people of the region, 80 taxa belonging to 34 families were used for various purposes (medicine, food, household goods, ornaments, timber, paint, and talisman). From the endemic and rare plants used by the people, Centaurea hardajianii, Chaerophyllum libanoticum, Micromeria fruticosa subsp. barbata, Thymus eigii VU; Alcea apterocarpa, Crataegus aronia var. minuta, Helyschrysum arenarium subsp. aucheri LC; Alnus glutinosa subsp. antitaurica NT; Ferula amanicola EN and Silene confertiflora DD are classified as threatened categories. The first use of Cruciata taurica as yeast was recorded in this study.
