1 Introduction Turkey has a rich floristic diversity and cultural heritage Even though many scientific studies have explored the usage of wild plants for the purpose of treatment foodstuff or others efforts carried out in this field are not adequate in documenting this kind of information because of the large surface area of the country and the richness of cultural heritage In particular factors such as increased migration from rural areas to urban areas urbanization increased coverage of health services easier accessibility to transportation and current improvements in technology have gradually reduced the need for ethnobotanical information Consequently due to insufficient documentation and the reluctance of new generations to convey such knowledge this wealth of wisdom is vanishing day by day Therefore it would be useful to try various alternative ways and carry out similar studies so as to have access to these data
Folk medicine in the Black Sea region of Turkey has been investigated by several research groups (Alpınar 1979 Sezik et al 1991 1992 Fujita et al 1995 Yazıcıoğlu
and Tuzlacı 1995 Yazıcıoğlu and Tuzlacı 1996 Yesilada et al 1999 Kandemir 2002 Ezer and Arısan-Mumcu 2006 Cansaran et al 2007 Cansaran and Kaya 2010 Sağıroğlu et al 2012) Among the various approaches for selection of localities in these ethnobotanical surveys detailed investigation in a selected provincetown with the villages within it or in randomly selected localities mostly one or two villages in a region have been practiced more frequently However during our previous field surveys we faced the fact that in order to have a better quality of life (ie to find a job school etc) many families in the villages migrate to larger centers ie towns and cities while the population in villages tends to decline gradually Since in most of the ethnobotanical field surveys the main target was villages the information possessed by people who migrated to townscities has remained undocumented Therefore the aim of this study was to record the dietary ethnobotanical and therapeutic uses of wild and domestic plants in the selected city (Trabzon) towns (İskilip Yenice) and villages near city centers (Belmebuumlk Kapıkaya) in the Black Sea region
Abstract The current study was carried out in selected districts of the Black Sea region of Turkey in Trabzon (center) Ccedilorum (İskilip town) Karabuumlk (Yenice town) Amasya (Kapıkaya village) and Amasya (Belmebuumlk village) in order to document the wild plants used by the local inhabitants ie as a remedy or foodstuff or for other purposes The data were collected from 352 individuals residing in these districts and volunteering to participate in the research through face-to-face interviewing Depending on the data collected the parts of the plants used the purpose in using them and the ways of preparation (simply cooking or decoction infusion poultice ointment etc) were documented Wild plants that are said to be used were collected with guidance from the informant and herbarium materials were prepared All plant specimens collected were identified botanically and deposited at the Herbarium of the Faculty of Education of Hacettepe University (HEF) In the survey the use of 72 plant taxa from 35 families was documented Most of them belonged to the families Rosaceae (14 taxa) Lamiaceae (5 taxa) and Asteraceae (5 taxa) Among the 150 wild plant used in total 106 were documented to be used in the treatment of several health problems In descending order these health problems were respiratory system disorders (25 remedies 236) dermatological disorders (21 remedies 198) gastro-intestinal disorders (20 remedies 189) endocrine and metabolic diseases (11 remedies 104) and urinary disorders (11 remedies 104) respectively

2 Materials and methods21 Study area A questionnaire form that was used in earlier studies was applied to 352 individuals residing in Trabzon (center n = 121) Ccedilorum (İskilip town n = 80) Karabuumlk (Yenice town n = 76) Amasya (center Kapıkaya village n = 35) and Amasya (center Belmebuumlk (Karakoumlpruuml) village n = 40) through face-to-face interviews (Simsek et al 2001 2004 Akaydin et al 2013) (Figure) In addition to the demographic features of the participants questions as to the purpose of using wild plants preparation methods and ways to obtain them were contained in the questionnaire form While collecting data attempts were made to avoid asking questions with regard to plants or diseases in order to prevent misdirecting the informants22 Field tripsThe study data were collected between April and July 2008 Researchers behaved as a tracker in the interviews and the participants were visited at their homes and they were asked to call their neighbors who were particularly interested in using wild plants Some interviews took place in the local teahouse or in the garden of the district mosque where men frequently congregate After each interview plant samples were collected with assistance from the participants 23 Identification of plantsThe collected plant specimens were identified using references ie Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands (Davis 1965ndash1985 Davis et al 1988 Guumlner et al 2000) Kayışdağırsquonın Ccediliccedilekleri (Yesilada et al 2008) and Tuumlrkiye Bitkileri Listesi (Guumlner et al 2012) Identifications were performed by two of the authors (GA and EBY) The
dried plant samples are deposited at the Herbarium of the Faculty of Education Hacettepe University (HEF) 24 Statistical evaluationThe demographic data were analyzed by using descriptive and cross tables in SPSS 160 and percentages were calculated In the analyses the chi-square test was used and the values of P lt 005 were considered statistically significant
The Informantrsquos Consensus Factor (FIC) was calculated according to the following equation FIC = (nur ndash nt) (nur ndash 1) where nur refers to the number of use reports and nt to the number of taxa used in each pharmacological category If the calculated FIC value was close to 1 this indicates a general consensus among the informants on the utilization of a remedy in that particular category while a lower value indicates disagreement (Heinrich 2000)
Another quantitative parameter used for the data evaluation was Use Value (UV) which indicates the relative importance of a taxon utilized by the informants UV was estimated by using the formula UV = sumUN where U refers to the number of citations and N to the number of informants per taxon
3 Results31 Demographic dataDemographic features of the informants are given in Table 1 While 679 of the participants were female 321 were male When considering the age of the participants 258 were 30 years old or younger and the remaining 742 were 31 years old or older Moreover 870 of them were literate Two-thirds of the participants (756) were married and the others were unmarried widowed or

divorced As for their working status a great majority of the participants (523) were housewives The participants mostly resided in the rural areas (580) and 798 lived in the area where they had resided for 10 years or more 32 Correlation between demographic features and plant useThe data on the knowledge of the informants regarding the utilization of wild plants are given in Table 2 A great majority of the participants (906) were informed about wild plants growing in the vicinity while only 852 of them consumed these plants either as food or medicine The rest (148) were unwilling to consume them due to insufficient information on their benefits or they did not think that they would be beneficial
Some consumers (530) gathered plants for their own use whereas some people (203) purchased plants from bazaar or dealers The rest (267) consumed the materials either collected themselves or purchased Among the participants purchasing wild plant materials 270 obtained the materials from herbalists 645 from the district bazaar and 85 from greengrocers or supermarkets As for the collection time of the plants from nature while 297 of those participants preferred collecting the plants in the morning hours the rest did not specify any time of day
When the participants were asked about the origin of their information the information was mostly acquired from elderly people (800) with a smaller ratio from their friends (200) Among the documented plant utilizations they were mostly used for medical purposes (913) while some were consumed as a foodstuff (743) or as spice for taste and aroma (233) and some plants were used as animal fodder (60) ornamentals (53) or dyestuff (30) The participants mostly declared that they did not suffer from any significant side effect (985) and nearly all expressed that they observed beneficial effects (993)
Cross relations between the demographic features of the informants and their knowledge about plants are summarized in Tables 3 and 4 respectively Upon evaluation based on the age of participants 988 of the participants who were 44 years old or older were familiar with the wild plants while this ratio fell to 714 among the participants 30 years old or younger Among the participants 970 of the individuals residing in rural areas were familiar with the wild plants and 951 of them consumed wild plants while for those living in urban areas this ratio decreased to 818 and 716 respectively
No significant difference was found in habits of wild plant use among the respondents with respect to their

residing period in the locality While 901 of people who had lived in the same locality less than 10 years recognized the wild plants and consumed them this percentage was 907 for those who had lived in the same area for 10 years or more
As shown in the tables the status of acquaintance with wild plants and consumption for the participants were significantly different in terms of their age education marital status and the places in lived longest (P lt 005) (Tables 3 and 4) However no significant differences were observed between these parameters ie acquaintance and consumption of plants based on sex 33 Ethnobotanical data evaluationPlants are consumed for different purposes and prepared by various methods in every district The plants used as
a remedy for healing purposes are processed either by boiling in water (decoction) by simmering in boiled water (infusion) by roasting in oil by mixing with honey in the form of paste as a herbal tea or by directly applying externally on the skin Sometimes they prepare a condensed extract by condensing the aqueous extract on an open fire (pekmez a molasses-like syrup)
Plants consumed as foodstuffs are mostly used fresh or by roasting or boiling Such plants are sometimes added to dishes such as rice and bulgur or used as the filling of Turkish pancakes (goumlzleme) in salads or as spices Fruit stewed with sugar is served as jam On the other hand some plants are used as animal fodder for ornamentation as natural dye materials or to make wooden spoons

2 Materials and methods21 Study area A questionnaire form that was used in earlier studies was applied to 352 individuals residing in Trabzon (center n = 121) Ccedilorum (İskilip town n = 80) Karabuumlk (Yenice town n = 76) Amasya (center Kapıkaya village n = 35) and Amasya (center Belmebuumlk (Karakoumlpruuml) village n = 40) through face-to-face interviews (Simsek et al 2001 2004 Akaydin et al 2013) (Figure) In addition to the demographic features of the participants questions as to the purpose of using wild plants preparation methods and ways to obtain them were contained in the questionnaire form While collecting data attempts were made to avoid asking questions with regard to plants or diseases in order to prevent misdirecting the informants22 Field tripsThe study data were collected between April and July 2008 Researchers behaved as a tracker in the interviews and the participants were visited at their homes and they were asked to call their neighbors who were particularly interested in using wild plants Some interviews took place in the local teahouse or in the garden of the district mosque where men frequently congregate After each interview plant samples were collected with assistance from the participants 23 Identification of plantsThe collected plant specimens were identified using references ie Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands (Davis 1965ndash1985 Davis et al 1988 Guumlner et al 2000) Kayışdağırsquonın Ccediliccedilekleri (Yesilada et al 2008) and Tuumlrkiye Bitkileri Listesi (Guumlner et al 2012) Identifications were performed by two of the authors (GA and EBY) The
dried plant samples are deposited at the Herbarium of the Faculty of Education Hacettepe University (HEF) 24 Statistical evaluationThe demographic data were analyzed by using descriptive and cross tables in SPSS 160 and percentages were calculated In the analyses the chi-square test was used and the values of P lt 005 were considered statistically significant
The Informantrsquos Consensus Factor (FIC) was calculated according to the following equation FIC = (nur ndash nt) (nur ndash 1) where nur refers to the number of use reports and nt to the number of taxa used in each pharmacological category If the calculated FIC value was close to 1 this indicates a general consensus among the informants on the utilization of a remedy in that particular category while a lower value indicates disagreement (Heinrich 2000)
Another quantitative parameter used for the data evaluation was Use Value (UV) which indicates the relative importance of a taxon utilized by the informants UV was estimated by using the formula UV = sumUN where U refers to the number of citations and N to the number of informants per taxon
3 Results31 Demographic dataDemographic features of the informants are given in Table 1 While 679 of the participants were female 321 were male When considering the age of the participants 258 were 30 years old or younger and the remaining 742 were 31 years old or older Moreover 870 of them were literate Two-thirds of the participants (756) were married and the others were unmarried widowed or

divorced As for their working status a great majority of the participants (523) were housewives The participants mostly resided in the rural areas (580) and 798 lived in the area where they had resided for 10 years or more 32 Correlation between demographic features and plant useThe data on the knowledge of the informants regarding the utilization of wild plants are given in Table 2 A great majority of the participants (906) were informed about wild plants growing in the vicinity while only 852 of them consumed these plants either as food or medicine The rest (148) were unwilling to consume them due to insufficient information on their benefits or they did not think that they would be beneficial
Some consumers (530) gathered plants for their own use whereas some people (203) purchased plants from bazaar or dealers The rest (267) consumed the materials either collected themselves or purchased Among the participants purchasing wild plant materials 270 obtained the materials from herbalists 645 from the district bazaar and 85 from greengrocers or supermarkets As for the collection time of the plants from nature while 297 of those participants preferred collecting the plants in the morning hours the rest did not specify any time of day
When the participants were asked about the origin of their information the information was mostly acquired from elderly people (800) with a smaller ratio from their friends (200) Among the documented plant utilizations they were mostly used for medical purposes (913) while some were consumed as a foodstuff (743) or as spice for taste and aroma (233) and some plants were used as animal fodder (60) ornamentals (53) or dyestuff (30) The participants mostly declared that they did not suffer from any significant side effect (985) and nearly all expressed that they observed beneficial effects (993)
Cross relations between the demographic features of the informants and their knowledge about plants are summarized in Tables 3 and 4 respectively Upon evaluation based on the age of participants 988 of the participants who were 44 years old or older were familiar with the wild plants while this ratio fell to 714 among the participants 30 years old or younger Among the participants 970 of the individuals residing in rural areas were familiar with the wild plants and 951 of them consumed wild plants while for those living in urban areas this ratio decreased to 818 and 716 respectively
No significant difference was found in habits of wild plant use among the respondents with respect to their

residing period in the locality While 901 of people who had lived in the same locality less than 10 years recognized the wild plants and consumed them this percentage was 907 for those who had lived in the same area for 10 years or more
As shown in the tables the status of acquaintance with wild plants and consumption for the participants were significantly different in terms of their age education marital status and the places in lived longest (P lt 005) (Tables 3 and 4) However no significant differences were observed between these parameters ie acquaintance and consumption of plants based on sex 33 Ethnobotanical data evaluationPlants are consumed for different purposes and prepared by various methods in every district The plants used as
a remedy for healing purposes are processed either by boiling in water (decoction) by simmering in boiled water (infusion) by roasting in oil by mixing with honey in the form of paste as a herbal tea or by directly applying externally on the skin Sometimes they prepare a condensed extract by condensing the aqueous extract on an open fire (pekmez a molasses-like syrup)
Plants consumed as foodstuffs are mostly used fresh or by roasting or boiling Such plants are sometimes added to dishes such as rice and bulgur or used as the filling of Turkish pancakes (goumlzleme) in salads or as spices Fruit stewed with sugar is served as jam On the other hand some plants are used as animal fodder for ornamentation as natural dye materials or to make wooden spoons

a remedy for healing purposes are processed either by boiling in water (decoction) by simmering in boiled water (infusion) by roasting in oil by mixing with honey in the form of paste as a herbal tea or by directly applying externally on the skin Sometimes they prepare a condensed extract by condensing the aqueous extract on an open fire (pekmez a molasses-like syrup)
Plants consumed as foodstuffs are mostly used fresh or by roasting or boiling Such plants are sometimes added to dishes such as rice and bulgur or used as the filling of Turkish pancakes (goumlzleme) in salads or as spices Fruit stewed with sugar is served as jam On the other hand some plants are used as animal fodder for ornamentation as natural dye materials or to make wooden spoons

residing period in the locality While 901 of people who had lived in the same locality less than 10 years recognized the wild plants and consumed them this percentage was 907 for those who had lived in the same area for 10 years or more
As shown in the tables the status of acquaintance with wild plants and consumption for the participants were significantly different in terms of their age education marital status and the places in lived longest (P lt 005) (Tables 3 and 4) However no significant differences were observed between these parameters ie acquaintance and consumption of plants based on sex 33 Ethnobotanical data evaluationPlants are consumed for different purposes and prepared by various methods in every district The plants used as
a remedy for healing purposes are processed either by boiling in water (decoction) by simmering in boiled water (infusion) by roasting in oil by mixing with honey in the form of paste as a herbal tea or by directly applying externally on the skin Sometimes they prepare a condensed extract by condensing the aqueous extract on an open fire (pekmez a molasses-like syrup)
Plants consumed as foodstuffs are mostly used fresh or by roasting or boiling Such plants are sometimes added to dishes such as rice and bulgur or used as the filling of Turkish pancakes (goumlzleme) in salads or as spices Fruit stewed with sugar is served as jam On the other hand some plants are used as animal fodder for ornamentation as natural dye materials or to make wooden spoons

residing period in the locality While 901 of people who had lived in the same locality less than 10 years recognized the wild plants and consumed them this percentage was 907 for those who had lived in the same area for 10 years or more

a remedy for healing purposes are processed either by boiling in water (decoction) by simmering in boiled water (infusion) by roasting in oil by mixing with honey in the form of paste as a herbal tea or by directly applying externally on the skin Sometimes they prepare a condensed extract by condensing the aqueous extract on an open fire (pekmez a molasses-like syrup)
Plants consumed as foodstuffs are mostly used fresh or by roasting or boiling Such plants are sometimes added to dishes such as rice and bulgur or used as the filling of Turkish pancakes (goumlzleme) in salads or as spices Fruit stewed with sugar is served as jam On the other hand some plants are used as animal fodder for ornamentation as natural dye materials or to make wooden spoons
