Abstract: This study, which started in 2009 and is part of ongoing our studies. In public known
names such as “kebere, gebere, keber, kapari, kabar, gabara, gebele, gebre otu, deve dikeni, gevil,
bubu, şebellah, yılan kabağı, yabani karpuz, kedi tırnağı, karga kavunu, keper, menginik, şefellef,

kapri, delikarpuz, şeytankarpuzu, gavur karpuzu, karıncagülü” Capparis L. genus 2 species of our
country is represented by 6 taxa. Related Taxa is a perennial length of life is about 150-200 years.
Domint grown in the temperate Mediterranean climate, localities distributed in other regions like
the Mediterranean climate. C. spinosa L. is a typical Mediterranean phyto-geographical region
indicator. C. ovata Desf. spread better and more tolerant in terms of high except for Mediterranean
region. Caper taxa being distinguished from all around the world is known as nutrition, treatment,
used for erosion control, ornamental and landscape plants. The plant's buds, terminal shoots, and

Ministry of Forestry Reforestation Directorate by modifying the statute of 13. article caper plant
use of forest lands proposed erosion control and allowed on 22 October 1996. Chalky and barren
lands are breeding and gain the economy also an important plant used in preventing soil loss.
Caper’s have very different patterns of usage and benefit of increasing commercial importance. In
Turkey borders except for the Black Sea region the entire coastal strip well-spread by the public
less recognition of the caper plant, a major economic loss for our country as a cause can be shown.
Turkey's exports of caper a year gain of 18 million TL. (12 million dollars) that is hosting the
world market is increasing from year to year. The largest exporter of caper Spain with the country
$ 20 billion a year. our target reveal to the Caper's economic importance and biotic potential in
