The

from nature and local markets, used for various purposes by the people of
Ayvacik (B1, Canakkale) district center and the towns and villages affiliated
to the district.
Ethnobotanical
information was tried to be obtained from local people living in Ayvacik and
surrounding villages. Within the scope of the research, 67 source people were
reached and the local names, morphological characteristics, parts used and
usage prescriptions of the plants spread in the region were determined.
59

the study. It was seen that the plants consumed as food mostly belong to the
Apiaceae, Asteraceae and Lamiaceae families. The most well-known plants by the
source people are Anethum graveolens,
Eruca sativa, Chenopodium album
subsp. album, Papaver rhoeas, Origanum majorana, Melissa officinalis subsp. altissima;

our cultural richness in our country, which is very rich in terms of flora,
recording plant use information and determining the contributions of plants
with economic value to our country. In addition, the results obtained from the
