Abstract :The family Apiaceae insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Umbelliferae); is the eighth largest family in Turkey . It is represented by 101 genera of which 53 have only 1 species and 451 species. After the publication of P. H. Davis\` “ Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands, vol. 4 in 1972” 4 genera and 53 species are added to the Turkish flora. Endemism of the family in Turkey is about 33% with 159 species of which 37 are endangered. The following 4 genera are monotypic endemic very locally distributed: Ekimia bornmuelleri , Microsciadium minutum , Olymposciadium caespitosum and Crenosciadium siifolium. Other endemic genera insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(end. 100%); are: Rhabdosciadium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2 sp.);, Muretia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 sp.);, Kundmannia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2 sp.);, Froriepia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 sp.);, Stenotaenia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 sp.);. Ferula halophila and F. orientalis are recorded in Bern Convention App. I, it means their habitats must be protected.
