Abstract
In this study, threat categories, life forms and phytogeographic regions of endemic and rare plants growing in Ulus Mountain Balıkesir are given. 382 taxa belonging to 63 families and 245 genera were determined in the research area. Also 29 endemic and 1 rare taxa were identified. Endemism rate is 7.6 %. According to the threat categories, the endemic taxa growing in Ulus Mountain are categorized as LC 18, NT 4 and CR 1. Species known from several locations such as Rumex olympicus Boiss. endemic , Ferula anatolica Boiss. endemic and Ferulago sylvatica Besser Rchb. rare were identified in this mountain as well. The factors threatening endemic species were described
