Parasitic Angiosperm Plants of Turkey
Abstract
Aim of this study was created a list of parasitic owering plants of Turkey in light of recent researches. Therefore, we compiled various studies about parasitic owering plants and ora in Turkey. Additionally, biogeographic characterization and IUCN categories of these plants were determined using literature. As a result, 146 species, subspecies and varieties belonging to 5 families and 30 genera were determined. Considering life types, while 91 taxa are hemi-parasitic, the others are holo-parasitic plants. The number of endemic taxa was 19 and this number constitutes 13.19% of the total parasitic owering plants. The biogeographic distribution of the species are: Irano – Turanian 23 (15.49%), Euro – Siberian 38 (25.35%), Mediterranean 18 (12.68%) and unknown region 63 (46.48%). The distribution of the endemic and rare taxa according to IUCN categories are: 2 taxa in critically (CR), 2 taxa in endangered (EN), 13 taxa in vulnerable (VU), 4 taxa in near threatened (LR-nt), 17 taxa in least concern (LR-lc) and 1 taxa in conservation dependent (LR-cd) and 4 taxa in data de cient (DD).
