The number of plants is quite high as different types of climate and rich geographical and geological features are seen in Turkey. Wild plant use culture has been enriched as Anatolia is the host of many civilizations. From past to present, people have used the plants grown around them for various purposes. The branch of science that examines this use is ethnobotany. Wild plants are used by people in fields such as medical, food, veterinary, equipment, musical instruments, handicrafts, dyes, fuel, ornaments and toys. In this study, ethnobotanical studies in Elazığ, which is located in the Eastern Anatolia Region, were examined. In the examination made within the scope of the study, it was determined that a total of 21 studies were made, including 17 articles with ethnobotanical content and 4 undergraduate and graduate theses. In the ethnobotanical studies conducted in Elazığ, the use for the treatment of various diseases was observed to be more common, however the use of plants for food purposes, use for the treatment of animal diseases and the use of plants for dye was recorded.

“…In particular, it is possible to see some of plants which belong to the flora of Iraq which is neighboring country of Turkey in the plant studies carried out in Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey (Erecevit and Kırbağ, 2017 Selvi et al, 2019). Turkey is rich in plant diversity and the number of plants is as much as the number of plants growing in all over Europe (Davis, 1965(Davis, -1985; Davis et al, 1988;Güner et al, 2000).…”

This study aims to identify wild plants used for medical purposes by local people of the Ballakayati district of Erbil in North Iraq, and to determine the local names and uses of those plants. The study was carried out for approximately 3 years between 2016 and 2018. During this period of time, 85 plant specimens were collected. Demographic characteristics of the participants, names of the local plants, used parts of these plants and their preparation methods were investigated and recorded. In the literature analysis of the plants used in this study, 85 plants were found to be used for medicinal purposes while 3 plants were not found in the literature records. Local plant names differ due to local dialects in North Iraq. Locals benefit from the wild plants growing in their districts. In this area, it was found that locals use 85 plants from 38 families for curative purposes. The medicinal plants were used for the treatment of many diseases, mostly for the treatment of a cold, shortness of breath, and heart and gastrointestinal diseases. It was determined that the plants we identified in this study were used directly or as infusion or decoction. The most considerable medicinal plants were Mentha longifolia (L.) L. subsp. noeana (Briq.) Briq. (UV:0.38), Urtica dioica L. (UV:0.38). Furthermore, plants used for medicinal purposes are dried and stored for using them in winter. The medicinal use of Rhaponticum repens (L.) Hidalgo and Tanacetum polycephalum Sch.Bip. subsp. argyrophyllum (K.Koch) Podlech. that we found in this area were recorded for the first time. Different use of those plants were observed in this study.
