Abstract
Caucasian Wingnut (Pterocarya pterocarpa (Michx.) Kunth ex I.Iljinsk.) is a fast growing tree species belongs to the Juglandaceae family. It is native to Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Iran, and Ukraine. In Turkey, the species is mainly distributed in northern Turkey. Some relict small populations of the species are also seen in southern Turkey. In this study, eight new locality records in Adıyaman province are presented. These remote relict populations are on the verge of extinction due to recent intensive activities around the streams. Urgent studies and projects are needed for the conservation of these relict populations in the region.
