coast. This belt is very narrow and occurs intermittently from sea level to 200 or 300 m, particularly on thin soil and southern exposures. Apparently, the Istranca area, the Yyldyz daőlary belong to the Euxine province of the Euro-Siberian region. Due to the destruction of the native vegetation there is a lack of information making it very difficult to see which phytogeographical areas most of the rest of Turkish Thrace could be referred. For example, many of the typical Euxine elements are absent írom the wooded areas of Ipyklar daőy(Tekir daölari). It seems that this area rather belongs to the Balkan province of the Euro-Siberian region and is floristically a continuation of Greek Thrace. However, the plains of the central part are largely cultivated and have a steppe like aspect. This is certainly not Irano-Turanian, but represents an extension of the Sarmatian province which is well developed in the Danube valley (DAVIS 1965). Irano-Turanian elements are scarcely present in European Turkey. In Turkish Thrace, the Mediterranean region is surprisingly small, being confined to the southern part, which belongs to East-Mediterranean province. In many places maquis has been degraded and replaced by phrygana. SITE DETAILS Location of the collecting sites can be seen on Figure 1. 1.
