The genus Scorzonera L. (Asteraceae), with about 160 species belonging to the subtribe Scorzonerinae Dumort. of the tribe Cichorieae, is widespread in the more arid regions of Eurasia and northern Africa (Bremer and Anderberg, 1994;Nazarova, 1997).After the genus Scorzonera s.str. was revised by Chamberlain (1975) for the Flora of Turkey, many new species have been recorded from Turkey. The classification of the genus has been highly controversial (Nazarova, 1997;Mavrodiev et al., 2004), and because of this different taxonomic treatments have been used in the floras. Starting with De Candolle (1805), frequently Scorzonera species with a conspicuous cylindric carpopodium were placed under a separate genus,

“…[2] Anatolia is considered one of the significant diversity centers of the genus Scorzonera due to the richness and the existence of many rare species. [7] This richness and diversity have encouraged the wide use of plants as curative agents in Turkish folk medicine [8] and sources of new chemical structures. The members of Scorzonera have been reported to treat arteriosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, kidney disorders, rheumatism, pain, and wound healing in Turkish folk medicine.…”

Scorzonera species belong to the Asteraceae family comprising more than 25000 species. The present study aimed to examine the phytochemical profiles and biological activities of S. sandrasica Hartvig et Strid, S. coriacea A. Duran&Aksoy, and S. ahmet-duranii Makbul&Coskuncelebi which are endemic species to Turkey. Flavonoids such as hyperoside, isoquercitrin, rutin, isoorientin, orientin, 7-O-methyl isoorientin, luteolin-7-O-β-glycoside, apigenin-7-O-β-glucoside, vitexin, isovitexin as well as caffeoylquinic acid derivatives including chlorogenic acid, 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, and 1,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid contents were analyzed to clarify phytochemical content of the extracts. Aerial parts of the investigated extracts were determined as contain flavonoids in high amounts. Chlorogenic acid and its derivatives were detected in all investigated species, in varying amounts, both in the roots and aerial parts. S. coriacea aerial parts contained the highest total phenolic and flavonoids. The strongest inhibitory activities on ABTS and DPPH radicals were also observed with S. coriacea aerial parts by 8.07 � 0.28 and 13.94 � 0.53 μg/ml of IC 50 values, respectively. Total phenolic contents of the extracts were significantly correlated with DPPH (r = À 0.9842, p = 0.0004) and ABTS free radical scavenging (r = À 0.9870, p = 0.0003) and total antioxidant capacity (r = 0.8173, p = 0.0470), as well as total flavonoid contents (r = 0.8820, p = 0.0201). S. sandrasica aerial parts and S. ahmet-duranii roots exhibited the greatest red blood cell membrane protection and protein denaturation inhibition, respectively. From the phytochemical point of view, all the selected species were analyzed for the first time.

This study was carried out in order to determine the potential of the wild plants in an Eastern Mediterranean province, Hatay (Turkey), as ornamentals. In the light of the floristic field studies the authors have been carrying out in the region for more than ten years, they determined the plants that may have ornamental features. Most of these plants were evaluated as ornamental plants within the scope of horticulture EXPO-2021 Hatay. Local endemic plants discovered by the authors in recent years have also been successfully cultivated as ornamental plants and one of them, Scorzonera pacis, has even been chosen as the emblem of the event. The preference for exotic, showy species in landscape design is a common trend that is still prevalent around the world and that we witness both in Hatay and throughout Turkey. However, due to global climate changes and the freshwater crisis, it is now necessary to use local species that are compatible with the existing habitat so they can be cultivated more easily. In addition to the advantage of easy cultivation, choosing local wild plant species for landscape designs will contribute to the diversification of agricultural products and to the local economy as well as to the conservation of endangered species and the local ecological balance. Even very rare local endemic plants can be cultivated and successfully used as ornamentals in foreign habitats, as in the examples of the Turkish endemics Origanum amanum or Tulipa sprengeri. Both species have become extinct in nature. The former is currently only available in European botanical gardens ex situ. The second is a very popular and widespread ornamental plant and, after years of extinction in nature, it was replanted in its natural habitat in Turkey where it was discovered. Moreover, the economical and ecological advantages of using native flora species instead of foreign ones will give parks and gardens unique identities. Hatay was the province that suffered the greatest destruction in the February 23, 2023 earthquake. We hope that this article prepared before the earthquake will guide the reconstruction of the city by suggesting alternative agricultural and economic products.
