Abstract
Acer monspessulanum subsp. monspessulanum which is a kind of Acer L. was ascertained for the first time by us during the field surveys that we did in 2013, on the mount Beydağı which is located between the villages Ahmetler and Gedikler, in the east of the town Eşme, the province Uşak. Beydağ and its district is the second area in which Acer monspessulanum subsp. monspessulanum forms a community in Turkey. It expands on the steep hillsides which are made of andesites. There are trees that are about 7 meters tall and 50 cm body diameter. The plant starts to scatter from 850 meters in the South of the bulk and ascends to the peaks. The tree has been deeply damaged and disembarked, it exists in the peak parts which cannot be reached by human beings. The sheep and goat breeding generates the biggest influence on the population of Acer monspessulanum subsp. monspessulanum on the mount Beydağ. The sheep and goat prevent the natural regeneration and growth by consuming the seeds of the plant. It is essential to be taken the field in which the plant scatters under protection.
