Abstract
In the course of the study, endemic plants of the flora of the Sumgayitchay River basin were studied. A total of 265 species of endemic plants were studied, of which 215 species are characteristic of the Caucasus and 50 species are naturally distributed in the endemic zone of Azerbaijan. Endemic plants of the flora of the Sumgayitchay River basin are systematically analyzed for the presence of taxa. Of the 215 Caucasian endemic species, 36 species belong to the family Asteraceae, 27 to Fabaceae, 17 to Brassicaceae, 16 to Rosaceae, 14 to Poaceae, 14 to Caryophyllaceae and 10 to Ranunculaceae. Of the 266 species of higher plants listed in the Red Book of Azerbaijan, 62 rare and endangered plants are common in the Sumgayitchay River basin. Plants with a new habitat were taken into account, a new distribution area of 14 plant species was determined. The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan has submitted proposals for the conservation of the region’s biodiversity and the protection of flora.
