Abstract
BackgroundThe dataset providing information on the geographic distribution of Oxytropis species on the territory of Asian Russia is discussed. The data were extracted from different sources including prominent floras and check-lists, Red Data books, published research on congeneric species and authors’ field observations and mainly cover less-studied, remote regions of Russia. The dataset should be of value to applied, basic and theoretical plant biologists and ecologists interested in the Oxytropis species.New informationThe dataset includes 5172 distribution records for 143 species and 15 subspecies of genus Oxytropis DC. (Fabaceae Lindl.) in Asian Russia. The dataset fills gaps in the distribution of locoweeds in the study area and contains precise coordinates for many of rare and endemic species.
Highlights
Oxytropis DC. or Locoweeds is one of the richest genera in the flora of non-tropical Asia (Malyshev 2008)
The highest diversity of locoweeds in Asian Russia is confined to the mountainous territories (Malyshev 2006, Malyshev 2008)
Different studies dealing with various aspects of the ecology, distribution and taxonomic status of selected sections and model species have been published recently (Gureyeva and Bytotova 2001, Konichenko and Selyutina 2013, Kholina et al 2018, Selyutina and Sandanov 2018). These studies revealed an extensive array of new localities and expanded our knowledge about many rare and endemic Oxytropis species (Selyutina et al 2010, Chimitov et al 2017)
