Description 784-798
This research reveals traditional uses of wild plants found in Artuklu district in Mardin Province in the Southeastern
Anatolia Region of Turkey. This study, conducted between 2017 and 2019, gathered information on the medicinal and other
uses of plant species traditionally used in Artuklu and the local names of these plants. Face to face surveys were conducted
with 183 people in 91 neighbourhoods. The ethnobotanical uses of 125 plants belonging to 35 families, which are
traditionally underutilized by the local people, have been recorded. Our results showed that the highest Relative Frequency
of Citation (RFC) was recorded for the species Lathyrus pseudocicera Pamp. (0.32). 1 taxon is from Stereocaulaceae of
Fungi, 2 taxa are from Pteridophyta and the others 122 taxa are from Magnoliophyta. In the region, plants mostly belonging
to the families Fabaceae (21 taxa), Lamiaceae (11 taxa), Asteraceae (10 taxa) and Brassicaceae (10 taxa) were determined.
The recorded ethnobotanical uses are for: food (64), medicinal (40), fodder (12), children's toys (5) and various other
purposes (4). Due to the fact that Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic and Assyrian people have lived together in the Artuklu district,
this ethnic diversity increased the use of wild plants and added richness. Preserving the coexistence of different cultural and
religious groups in the research zone is essential for the maintenance of the rich wild plant local heritage.
