Based on this situation, a taxonomic study of 33 medical and aromatic plants showing natural distribution and playing a big role in terms of human health has been carried out in Hanönü district of Kastamonu region, which has a botanical wide flora. Images of all the identified species were taken in the growing region. Along with the pictures of the plants detected, the names of local usage and scientific Latin names and the places where they grow in the region are briefly explained. Recommendations were made to raise awareness of the consumption of the identified species, and to prevent unnecessary consumption and extinction.
