Abstract

11 field studies were conducted in the research area between 2020-2021. According to the grid system used in the flora of Turkey, the research area is located in the B2 square. As a result of the diagnosis of the herbarium samples collected as a result of the field studies and literature review, 604 species and subspecies taxa were determined in and around Karaağaç Village, Gediz District of Kütahya Province. 48 of the detected plant taxa are endemic and the endemism rate of the region is 7.95%. The distribution of the species in the floristic regions is as follows; 63 taxa are Mediterranean (10,43%), 51 are Irano-Turanian (8.43%) and 43 are European Siberian (7.12%).
