Lycopus exaltatus L. is widely distributed in the moist riparian areas of Europe and Asia. According to the Flora of Turkey, it is included in the natural distribution areal of Turkey, so it is given as a probable species. However, it was not known from Turkey until today. However, it was collected in Bingöl province in 2022 and its presence in Turkey was confirmed. In this study, observations of Lycopus exaltatus L. in the Marmara region are presented. In the Marmara region, it was observed at a point in the Ormanlı village of Çatalca district of Istanbul province. Here Lycopus europeaus L. was also found together in the same habitat. The habitat of the species here is moist grassland and flooded forest edge around the river. In addition, this species was also identified 2 points in Kocaeli province. Again, were also observed Uluabat Lake in Bursa. And, Celepköy village in Çatalca, İstanbul. When all these data are brought together, the presence of Lycopus exaltatus in 5 different localities in the Marmara region has been confirmed. Thus, its presence in the east and west of Turkey is confirmed. In this case, it would not be wrong to say that the distribution area of the species can cover the whole country. We can say that it can be observed from different regions with further research. Thus, with the new observations, the distribution information of Lycopus species has been expanded with new distribution information and its chorology in Turkey has been revealed. Habitus and habitat photographs of the species are given. A distribution map has also been prepared according to the available distribution information.
