The Apiaceae is a best known family of flowering plants because
of its characteristic inflorescences and fruits, and the diverse chemical
reflected odour, flavour and even toxicity of many of its members. Treatment
with plants has been used since very early years. Despite the fact that our
country has a very rich flora and cultural heritage, the number of scientific
studies on the use of wild plants in the treatment, food and other purposes of
the people in Anatolia is extremely low.
In this study, 29 genera and 51 taxa of Apiaceae
used for medical purposes in Anatolia were determined. The most commonly used
genus of familya are found as Ferula L. (7 taxa), Eryngium L. (5 taxa), Heracleum L. and Pimpinella L. (4 taxa). The most commonly used taxa: Anethum
graveolens L., Petroselinum crispum (Miller) A.W. Hill., Foeniculum
vulgare Mill., Ferula orientalis L., Coriandrum sativum L.
and Eryngium campestre L. var. virens Link.
