This study aimed to identify wild plants collected for medical purposes by the local people of Sivrice County, located in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, and to establish the uses and local names of these plants.
Field study was carried out over a period of approximately two years (2005-2006). During this period, 146 vascular plant specimens were collected. In addition, the relative importance value of the species was determined and informant consensus factor (FIC) was calculated for the medicinal plants included in the study.
A total of 81 medical plants belonging to 32 families were identified in the region. 9 plants out of 81 were recorded to be used for curative purposes for the first time. It was determined that the local names of five different kinds of plants used in Sivrice were same as the different kinds of plants used in different regions. The most encountered medicinal plant families were Asteraceae (>19% of use-reports), Rosaceae and Urticaceae (>17%), Lamiaceae and Fabaceae (>11%), Polygonaceae (>8%), Poaceae (>5%); the most common preparations were infusion and decoction. Urtica dioica L. was found out to be the plant most commonly used by the local people. Thymus haussknechtii Velen, Mentha spicata L. subsp. spicata, Malva neglecta Wallr., Rosa canina L., Hypericum perforatum L., Rheum ribes L., Rubus discolor Weihe & Nees, Portulaca oleracea L. were the other plants commonly used for curative purposes. The medicinal uses of Echinophora tenuifolia L. subsp. sibthorpiana (Guss.) Tutin, Onopordum tauricum Willd., Vaccaria pyramidata Medik. var. grandiflora (Fisch. ex DC.) Cullen, Astragalus gummifer Lab, Quercus pubescens Willd, Erodium cicutarium (L.) L'Hérit. subsp. cicutarium, Scutellaria orientalis L., Rumex scutatus L., Rubus discolor Weihe & Nees were recorded for the first time.
These plants, used in the treatment of many different diseases, are freely harvested in this region at abundant amounts. Plants which are used in different parts of the world for the treatment of similar diseases may be deemed to be effective in pharmacological terms.
本研究旨在确定土耳其东安纳托利亚地区锡夫里切县当地居民采集用于医疗目的的野生植物，并确定这些植物的用途和当地名称。
实地研究在大约两年的时间内（2005-2006 年）进行。在此期间，共采集了 146 种维管植物标本。此外，还确定了物种的相对重要值，并计算了研究中包含的药用植物的信息共识因子（FIC）。
在该地区共鉴定出 81 种属于 32 科的药用植物。81 种植物中有 9 种是首次被记录用于治疗目的。确定在锡夫里切使用的 5 种不同植物的当地名称与不同地区使用的不同植物相同。最常见的药用植物科是菊科（>19%的用途报告）、蔷薇科和荨麻科（>17%）、唇形科和豆科（>11%）、Polygonaceae（>8%）、禾本科（>5%）；最常见的制剂是浸剂和煎剂。荨麻（Urtica dioica L.）被发现是当地居民最常用的植物。Thymus haussknechtii Velen、Mentha spicata L. subsp. spicata、Malva neglecta Wallr.、Rosa canina L.、Hypericum perforatum L.、Rheum ribes L.、Rubus discolor Weihe & Nees、Portulaca oleracea L. 也是常用的药用植物。Echinophora tenuifolia L. subsp. sibthorpiana (Guss.) Tutin、Onopordum tauricum Willd.、Vaccaria pyramidata Medik. var. grandiflora (Fisch. ex DC.) Cullen、Astragalus gummifer Lab.、Quercus pubescens Willd.、Erodium cicutarium (L.) L'Hérit. subsp. cicutarium、Scutellaria orientalis L.、Rumex scutatus L.、Rubus discolor Weihe & Nees 的药用用途也是首次被记录。
这些植物被大量自由采集，用于治疗许多不同的疾病。在世界其他地区用于治疗类似疾病的植物可能在药理学上被认为是有效的。
