Abstract

Turkey boasts one of the richest temperate zone floras, with over 11,000 species of vascular plants, one-third of which are endemic to the country. The largest family of Turkish flora is Asteraceae and its endemism is about 37%. Traditional knowledge of medicinal plants is common and it is transferred inter-generationally in Turkey. This unique knowledge is documented by ethnobotanical studies. Asteraceae is one of the most commonly used plant families also in Turkish traditional medicine. The most frequently used genera are Achillea L., Centaurea L., Gundelia L., Helichrysum Mill., and Matricaria L. Studies on biological activities endorse their traditional uses. The diversity of established traditional uses of further representatives of the Asteraceae family underpins their importance in the search for new drugs.
