This is the 10th volume of the series Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the World. Similar to the previous volumes, the work deals – in a monographic form – with medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) characteristic, famous, or simply known from Turkey. This country has extremely rich and varied topographical and ecological conditions. As a result, the flora of Turkey abounds in an astonishingly great number of endemic MAP species. Traditional, present and possible prospective uses are discussed. Scientific and technological achievements are equally presented.
