An ethnobotanical research on wild plants sold in Kırıkhan district Hatay/Turkey herbalists and local markets

Abstract

In this study, ethnobotanical properties of some herbal plants marketed in herbalists and local bazaars of Kırıkhan province of Hatay city were investigated during 2011-2013. For this purpose, herbalists and local markets in the province were visited to identify for what purpose these plants are sold and how they are used. It was identified that 70 taxa in herbalists and 37 taxa in local markets have some ethnobotanical properties. Then, these plant taxa were alphabetically listed according to their family names, including their Latin and local names, their used parts and usage purposes. The obtained results were comparatively discussed with current literatures. We believe that fınding of this study will significantly contribute to the ethnobotanical studies at local and regional scales
