IntroductionTurkey has a rich floristic diversity and cultural heritage. Even though many scientific studies have explored the usage of wild plants for the purpose of treatment, foodstuff, or others, efforts carried out in this field are not adequate in documenting this kind of information because of the large surface area of the country and the richness of cultural heritage. In particular, factors such as increased migration from rural areas to urban areas, urbanization, increased coverage of health services, easier accessibility to transportation, and current improvements in technology have gradually reduced the need for ethnobotanical information. Consequently, due to insufficient documentation and the reluctance of new generations to convey such knowledge, this wealth of wisdom is vanishing day by day. Therefore, it would be useful to try various alternative ways and carry out similar studies so as to have access to these data.Folk medicine in the Black Sea region of Turkey has been investigated by several research groups

This study was focused on the analysis of the phenolic content, fatty acid composition, volatile compounds and antioxidant activity of methanol extract from Centaurea urvillei subsp. stepposa. The antioxidant capacity were detected as 43.35 mg TEs/g, 52.18 mg TEs/g and 98.78 mg TEs/g for DPPH, FRAP and CUPRAC, respectively. Chlorogenic acid and apigenin were the major phenolic components in the extract. Linoleic acid (49.54 %) was the predominant fatty acid in the oil. 1, 3-cyclooctadiene (25.08 %) was major components in the essential oil. The study concluded that Centaurea urvillei subsp. stepposa can be used as a source of natural antioxidants for food and pharmacological industry.

This paper contains significant ethnobotanical information on folk-medicinal plants and their ethnopharmacological uses in Kadışehri. The aim of the study was mainly to collect and identify the plants used therapeutically by the local people, and to make available information about traditional herbal medicine. It was undertaken during the period 2011-2012 and is based on plants collected during field work. Fifty-six plants used in folk-medicine and belonging to 34 families were identified in this study. Of these, 48 species were wild, and 8 species were cultivated plants. The most common families were Rosaceae (12.5%), Lamiaceae (8.9%) and Asteraceae (7.1%); and the most common preparations were decoctions (36.7%). In addition, a cultural importance index (CI) and use report (UR) were calculated for each species. Based on the CI, the most important plants were Cydonia oblonga (0.77), Ecballium elaterium (0.66), Urtica urens (0.66), Vitis vinifera (0.66), Plantago lanceolata (0.65), Plantago major subsp. major (0.65) and Rosa canina (0.62). We found three species of plant (Astragalus noaeanus, Populus ×canescens and Salvia cyanescens) which had never before been reported to have medicinal properties.
