Flora Inventory of Köprülü Kanyon National Park (Antalya-Isparta)

Abstract

In this study, vascular flora of Köprülü Kanyon National Park had been investigated. Results according to identification of samples are as follows: 230 vascular endemics of the area and their conservation status were published previously. Pteridophyta 16, Gymnospermae 14, Magnoliopsida 595 and Liliopsida 82, totally 707 (950 if included its environs) taxa have determined. About 150 of these taxa are new registrations for square C3. The distributional rates of the taxa according to phytogeographic regions: Mediterranean 219 (30.97 %), Irano-Turanian 74 (10.46 %) and Euro-Siberian 50 (07.07 %). Vascular plant list of the natural park and its environs are reported. Genera: 8 Pteridophyta, 6 Gymnospermae, 318 Dicotyledoneae, 42 Monocotyledoneae (totally 374 genera); Familias: 8 Pteridophyta, 3 Gymnospermae, 76 Dicotyledoneae, 8 Monocotyledoneae(totally 95 families). The families and genera which including the most taxa: Families: Lamiaceae (Labiatae) 87 (12.30 %), Fabaceae (Leguminosae) 78 (11.03 %), Asteraceae (Compositae) 71 (10.04 %), Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) 47 (6.64 %), Scrophulariaceae 39 (5.51 %), Rosaceae 35 (4.95 %), Liliaceae 34 (4.80 %), Ranunculaceae 33 (% 4.66 %), Boraginaceae 32 (4.52 %), Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) 31 (4.38 %) and Caryophyllaceae 28 (3.96 %).

Total taxa in dangerous: 48, endemic taxa in dangerous in the park: 44, total endemic taxa: 230; local endemic taxa number for the area and near surroundings: 19, total vascular plant taxa: 707 (950 all together near fields). By Bern Convention: A1 (Number of globally threatened species): 5, A2 (Number of endangered species in European scale): 39. C2 (Number of threatened habitats): 6 (42.A17, 421951, 42B12, 42.6643, 4285B1, 45.11).
