Ufuk ÖZBEK, Mecit VURAL Gazi Üniversitesi, Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi, Biyoloji Bölümü, Ankara, ufukozbek@gazi.edu.tr, mvural@gazi.edu.tr Genus Anthemis L. (Asteraceae) is represented by about 215 species from all over the world. These species are distributed in Europe, Southwest Asia, North and East Africa. The genus comprises 79 taxa belonging to 3 sections in Turkey. Among them 29 taxa are endemic to Turkey. Some of these endemics are widespread, while remainings are restricted in small areas. In this study, threat categories of some of 7 endemic plant species belonging to section Cota (J.Gay) Rupr. were rearrenged according to IUCN criteria, their distribution maps were given and also photos of them were presented.

During the plant vegetation seasons, 2000 plant samples were collected. These were determined to be belonging to 494 taxa from 283 genera and 78 families. In the survey area, six different vegetation types forest (deciduous, mixed coniferous and deciduous), subalpine, steppe, rocky, wet grassland and segetal were present. The threat categories of the endemic species of Sakarat Mountain were determined and evaluated according to ‘Red Data Book of Turkish Plants’, which was prepared by using IUCN criteria. A total of 40 plant taxa were determined as endemic (8,09 % of all taxa). Highest ratios of endemic taxa were from families Fabaceae (15 %) and Lamiaceae (15 %). Phytogeographic elements among endemic taxa were listed as Irano-Turanian (32,5 %), Euro-Siberian (22,5 %), Mediterranean (2,5 %), while phytogeographic origin of 42,5 % of endemic taxa were unknown. As endemic taxa and their threat categories are evaluated, 1 (2,5 %) species was found to in endangered, 3 (7,5 %) in near threatened and 36 (90 %) in least concern according to IUCN criteria. 136 When the life forms of plant taxa were analysed, it was determined that 71
