After the identification of the specimens, the total flora has been determined as 786 taxa belonging to 770 species, 371 genera and 84 families. The endemism rate of the area is 15.5% for the 122 taxa. The largest 3 families are Asteraceae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(89 species);, Fabaceae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(65 species); and Poaceae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(62 species);. The largest genera are Ranunculus L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(13 species);, Allium L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(13 species); and Veronica L. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12 species);. The phytogeographical spectrum of the species is as follows: Irano-Turanian elements 143 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(18.19%);, Mediterranean elements 140 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.81%); and Euro-Siberian elements 40 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.08%);.
