Abstract
The genus Echinophora (Apiaceae) is represented in the flora of Turkey by six species including three endemics. These are: E. tenuifolia subsp. sihthotpiana, E. tournefortii, E. orientalis and three endemic species: E. chrysantha, E. trichophylla and E. lamondiana. The Echinophora species are also used in folk medicine to heal wounds and to treat gastric ulcers and also used spice for food. E. tenuifolia subsp. sihthorpiana known as “Cortuk, Corduk, Tarhana Otu or Tursu otu” in Turkish and its the most widely used species in genus Echinophora in Turkey. In this sudy; the diagnostic fruit characters of the genus are described; the geographic distribution in the world and Turkey of the genus is mapped. And ethnobotanical uses of the species in Turkey has been compiled and given with a table
