Abstract

The Black Sea region belongs to one of the richest regions of Turkey regarding biological diversity. Totally 2239 species are distributed in the East Black Sea region. 514 species are endemic and the endemism ratio is ca. 23 %. Rize displays more than half of the plants distributed at the East Black Sea region. It can be stated that almost 70 % of these plants are of medicinal and aromatic value. One of them is Anzer Thyme. Totally 24 volatile oil components were detected corresponding to 99.88 % of total volatile oil. The biggest chemical group was oxygenated monoterpenes (77.83 %). Specially thymol, carvacrol and linalool were detected in high amounts (respectively 20.45 %, 14.83 % and 13.89 %).
