It contains about 250 species, distributed in Europe, North Africa, eastern, central, and south-west Asia, and North and Central America (Charadze, 1963; Davis & Parris, 1975; Petrak, 1979). In Turkey 58 species (72 taxa) occur, distributed mainly in eastern and northeastern Anatolia, with the main centre of diversity in the Kaçkar Mountains. Of the 72 taxa, 24 (33%) are endemic to Turkey. Seven species doubtfully recorded or imperfectly known were included in the Flora of Turkey by Davis and Parris (1975). C. eriophorum (L.) Scop., one of the doubtfully recorded taxa, was found in Uludağ, Bursa province (Daşkın et al., 2006). Cirsium spp. found in Turkey are classified in 3 sections: sect. Epitrachys DC. (41 spp.),
