This checklist is an extension of an earlier one, with most of the new records derived from the Trakya University Herbarium (EDTU) and published between 1982 and 2023. It comprises a total of 712 new records, representing 79 families, 283 genera, and 548 taxa. The new records are organized by five provinces of the European Turkey and presented in alphabetical order in a table. A total of ten taxa have conservation categories and five taxa are endemic to Turkey. The data about 28 previously unpublished taxa collected from some provinces are published here. From the Edirne Province, 389 new records have been documented, rated as follows: five taxa with VU status, one CR taxon, one EN taxon, and two endemic taxa. From the Kırklareli Province, a total of 217 new records have been provided, three classified as VU and two endemic. The totalnumber of new records for Tekirdağ is 59, of which three have VU status and one is endemic. For Çanakkale, 43 new records are documented, including two VU taxon. Istanbul has provided four new records, of which one taxon is endemic. The most numerous taxa belonged to Fabaceae (108), Asteraceae (55), Caryophyllaceae (29), Orchidaceae (29), Ranunculaceae (27), Brassicaceae (21), Poaceae (18), Liliaceae (18), etc. These taxa have not been listed in any earlier volumes of the Flora of Turkey, or checklists. The inclusion of all new records in virtual databases related to the Flora of Turkey has been examined, and it was concluded that none of them have been processed in these databases. Furthermore, these new records have been cross-referenced with numerous virtual databases of European origin, and it was found that they have not been included in those databases yet.
