of which are endemic. Endemism ratio is ca. % 44. The largest genera in the

Lamiaceae has 160 taxa endangered in Turkey of which are categories; 43 taxa
critically endangered, 59 taxa endangered and 58 taxa vulnerable.
Phytogeographic distribution of rare and endemic Turkish Lamiaceae taxa are 79
taxa in the Mediterranean, 63 taxa in the Irano-Turanien, 5 taxa in the
Euro-Siberian phytogeographic region, and 11 taxa in unknown or multiregional
phytogeographical elements.This study was
carried out to draw attention to the endangered and vulnerable taxa in
Lamiaceae family and to indicate which phytogeographic regions these taxa are
