This paper provides significant ethnobotanical information on medicinal plants in Espiye in the Black Sea Region. Recording such data calls for urgency. This is the first ethnobotanical study in which statistical calculations about plants are carried out by means of FIC method in Northern (Espiye-Giresun) part of Turkey. This study aims to identify the wild plants collected for medicinal purposes by locals of Espiye which is located in the Black Sea Region of Turkey, and to identify the uses and local names of these wild plants.
A field study had been carried out for a period of approximately 2 years (2012-2014). During this period, information about medicinal use of 55 wild and 15 cultivated plants were collected. Demographic characteristics of participants, names of the local plants, their utilized parts and preparation methods were investigated and recorded. Through face-to-face interviews, we identified and recorded demographic characteristics of the respondents. We interviewed 128 persons who are over the age of 29. The plant taxa were collected within the scope of the study; and herbarium materials were prepared. In addition, the relative significance value of the taxa was determined, and informant consensus factor (FIC) was calculated for the medicinal plants included in the study.
We have found out in the literature review of the plants included in our study that 70 plant taxa are already used for medicinal purposes while 3 plants are not available among the records in the literature. The most common families are Asteraceae, Rosaceae, Lamiaceae, Malvaceae, and Ericaceae. We include in our study and report for the first time the medicinal uses of Alchemilla crinita Buser, Stachys sylvatica L., and Thymus leucotrichus Hal. var. leucotrichus Hal. Names of local plants in Turkey vary especially due to vernaculars. The plants that the locals of Espiye use are called with the same or different local names in various parts of Anatolia.
We found out that locals living in the research area use for therapeutic purpose 70 plants taxa which belong to 36 families. Turkish citizens with different ethnic backgrounds took the questionnaire. These people use these wild plants in treatment of several diseases. Comparison of the data obtained in this study with the experimental data obtained in the previous laboratory studies on the wild plants which grow in Espiye proved ethnobotanical usages to a great extent. Literature review indicated that the therapeutic plants that grow in Espiye are used in different parts of the world for the treatment of similar diseases.
本文提供了有关黑海地区埃斯皮耶药用植物的重要民族植物学信息。记录此类数据刻不容缓。这是在土耳其北部（埃斯皮耶 - 吉雷松）地区首次采用FIC方法对植物进行统计计算的民族植物学研究。本研究旨在确定土耳其黑海地区埃斯皮耶当地人采集用于药用的野生植物，并确定这些野生植物的用途和当地名称。
进行了为期约2年（2012 - 2014年）的实地研究。在此期间，收集了55种野生植物和15种栽培植物的药用信息。调查并记录了参与者的人口统计学特征、当地植物名称、其使用部位和制备方法。通过面对面访谈，我们确定并记录了受访者的人口统计学特征。我们采访了128名年龄在29岁以上的人。在研究范围内收集了植物分类群；并制备了标本材料。此外，确定了分类群的相对重要性值，并计算了本研究中所包括药用植物的 informant 共识因子（FIC）。
在对本研究中所包括植物的文献综述中，我们发现已有70个植物分类群被用于药用，而文献记录中没有3种植物。最常见的科是菊科、蔷薇科、唇形科、锦葵科和杜鹃花科。我们在研究中首次纳入并报告了毛果地榆、林地水苏和白毛百里香的药用用途。土耳其当地植物的名称差异很大，尤其是由于方言的原因。埃斯皮耶当地人使用的植物在安纳托利亚的不同地区有相同或不同的当地名称。
我们发现生活在研究区域的当地人将属于36个科的70个植物分类群用于治疗目的。不同民族背景的土耳其公民接受了问卷调查。这些人使用这些野生植物治疗多种疾病。将本研究获得的数据与之前对埃斯皮耶生长的野生植物进行的实验室研究获得的实验数据进行比较，在很大程度上证明了民族植物学的用途。文献综述表明，埃斯皮耶生长的治疗性植物在世界不同地区用于治疗类似疾病。
