Flueggea anatolica is a species of plant in the family Phyllanthaceae, endemic to Turkey. The species exists in only three small, disjunct populations in southern Turkey, at elevations ranging from 300 to 970 metres. It produces small seeds with an active ballistic dispersal mechanism, which show physiological dormancy requiring about 10 weeks of cold stratification to germinate successfully. The plant primarily regenerates through sprouts rather than seeds in the wild, contributing to its vulnerable conservation status. F. anatolica's wood structure features a semi-ring porous pattern with predominantly single vessels that have spiral thickenings and alternately arranged pits, displaying the "Glochidion-type" wood characteristics common in Phyllanthaceae.
The species exists in only three small, disjunct populations in southern Turkey. These populations are located in Tarsus (elevation: 300 m), Kozan (380 m), and Andırın (970 m). In these limited areas, F. anatolica individuals arise primarily from sprouts, with regeneration from seeds being rare in the wild. This limited distribution contributes significantly to its endangered status.
