Abstract

An ethnobotanical study was conducted between 1998 and 1h9 in order to determine the wild plants in Karaman province. In the excursions due, 518 plant specimens were collected from natural habitat and 131 of them recorded by their local names from the villagers.Turkey's diverse topography provides habitats for approximately 10,700 vascular plant taxa, giving way to a rich endemic flora with diverse therapeutic and other uses. Although Anatolia has a great history of folk medicine, there are a few ethnobotanical studies (3,4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) in Karaman. The province of Karaman (Map 1 .) is located in south of the midlle Anatolia and surrounded with Konya, Iqe1 and Antalya provinces
