After the identification of the specimens, the total flora was determined to consist of 645 taxa belonging to 341 genera and 86 families. The endemism rate of the 645 taxa was 16.1% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 104 taxa);. The phytogeographical spectrum of the species was as follows: Mediterranean 207 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(32.1%);, Irano-Turanian 51 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7.9%); and Euro-Siberian elements 33 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.1%);. Of the species we sampled, 311 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(48.2%); were widespread and the phytogeographical regions of 10 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.5%); were unknown. The order of the 10 families and genera involving most of the taxa were as follows: Families: Fabaceae: 77 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(11.9%);; Asteraceae: 71 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(11%);; Lamiaceae: 41 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6.4%);; Caryophyllaceae: 41 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6.4%);; Brassicaceae: 36 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.6%);; Apiaceae: 31 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.8%);; Poaceae: 24 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.7%);; Ranunculaceae: 22 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.4%);; Rosaceae: 22 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.4%);; Boraginaceae: 22 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.4%);. Genera: Silene: 16 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.5%);; Trifolium: 15 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.3%);; Ranunculus: 10 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.5%);; Veronica: 9 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.4%);; Hypericum: 9 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.4%);; Verbascum: 8 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.2%);; Astragalus: 7 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.1%);; Lathyrus: 7 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.1%);; Sedum: 7 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.1%);; Medicago: 7 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.1%);.
