This study is focused on ethnobotanical usages of wild plants growing within the Afyonkarahisar province districts of Sinanpaia, Hocalar and Dazkiri. Ninety local informants in 11 villages were interviewed. A total of 129 different usages of wild plants in the study area were recorded. Out of 650 plant species commonly present, 93 plant taxa (14.3%) belonging to 43 families were used for medicinal (52 citations), foodstuff (37 citations), fodder (14 citations), dye (six citations), firewood (five citations), construction materials (four citations) and miscellaneous purposes (11 citations). At least 15% of the information regarding ethnobotanical uses of wild plants was obtained by showing herbarium voucher samples to the informants. It was noted that Sideritis leptoclada and Verbascum stenostachyum are endemic to Turkey and their endangered status has markedly increased in recent years because of increased collecting for ethnobotanical purposes. Informants indicate that members of the younger generation have a much reduced interest in ethnobotanical knowledge and that this is a danger to the continued use of local plants. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2008.

In recent years, using of plants to develop combine therapies for treatment of certain diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes mellitus is extremely plausible approach. Perhaps, the definitive treatment of some of these diseases is hidden in the complex content of a plant in nature. Thus, in the present study, we decided to determine the biological activities of methanol and water extracts of the endemic Sideritis libanotica. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first investigation on antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory activity, antimicrobial activity, and in vitro cytotoxicity of S. libanotica. According to results, while the methanol extract shows better anti-cholinesterase, α-glucosidase, and α-amylase inhibition activity and cytotoxicity than the water extract, the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the water extract was found to be better than the methanol extract. This study provides valuable information on how the biological activity of endemic S. libanotica changes in different solvent extractions such as water and methanol.
