We conducted an ethnobotanical field study of traditional medicinal plants in 91 villages of Artuklu District among four ethnic groups: Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, and Assyrian. We interviewed 365 elderly informants and recorded traditional uses of 85 identified botanical taxa, including four endemic species previously unidentified as medicinal plants: Arum rupicola Boiss., Gundelia mesopotamica Firat, Alkanna trichophila Hub.-Mor., and Crocus leichtlinii (Dewar) Bowles. We gathered data specifically on medicinal uses of these taxa to determine the relative importance of the species surveyed and calculate the informant consensus factor (FIC) in relation to medicinal plant use. The highest use values were recorded for the species Teucrium polium L. (0.78), Urtica dioica L. (0.60) and Crataegus azarolus L., (0.59), while the highest FIC was for gynecological diseases (0.93).

土耳其 Artuklu 药用植物的传统用途

我们对土耳其、库尔德、阿拉伯和亚述四个民族的 Artuklu 区 91 个村庄的传统药用植物进行了民族植物学实地研究。我们采访了 365 名老年知情人，并记录了 85 种已确定植物类群的传统用途，其中包括四种以前未被确定为药用植物的特有物种：Arum rupicola Boiss.、Gundelia mesopotamica Firat、Alkanna trichophila Hub.-Mor. 和 Crocus leichtlinii (Dewar) Bowles。我们专门收集了这些分类群的药用数据，以确定所调查物种的相对重要性，并计算与药用植物使用相关的知情人共识因子 (FIC)。最高使用价值记录为 Teucrium polium L. (0.78)、Urtica dioica L. (0.60) 和 Crataegus azarolus L. (0.59)，
