Abstract
Geographically, Mt. Akdağ is located between the Central Anatolia and Black Sea Regions of Turkey and its summit is approximately 2060 meters. In this study, the vascular plant diversity of Mt. Akdağ in Amasya Province of Turkey, and the floristic and chorological analysis of this diversity were documented. Family numbers, species and subspecies taxa numbers, endemism rate, and Raunkiaer’s life form spectra were determined. A total of 705 taxa were identified and classified and 699 of them belong to Magnoliophyta and 6 to Pteridophyta. Euro-Siberian and Irano-Turanian elements were dominant in the chorological spectrum. The rate of endemic taxa (74) was found to be 10.49% in the flora.
