RIDGE DISTRIBUTION OF SPECIES OF THE GENUS SCUTELLARIA L. (LAMIACEAE) OF THE FERGANA VALLEY

Annotatsiya

The article is devoted to the geography of Scutellaria L. (Lamiaceae) species distributed in the Ferghana Valley. This article presents information on the distribution of species of the valley genus in mountain ranges, given in the guide to plants of Central Asia. Geographical analysis of the species was carried out, according to which S.picta Juz., S.nepetoides Popov ex Juz. in the flora of Uzbekistan, S.kamelinii Abdullaeva in the flora of Kyrgyzstan and S.ramosissima Popov in the flora of Tajikistan were found for the first time, these species are not found in scientific sources in these republics. The data were obtained from direct field studies, samples stored in herbarium funds, and information resources on the Internet.

The scientific significance of the research results lies in the fact that for the first time with a specific purpose, the species composition of the genus Scutellaria L., common in the flora of the Ferghana Valley, was studied and the species were specified. In the flora of the Fergana Valley, 23 species of Scutellaria L. were found, of which 15 species are in the valley part of the Republic of Uzbekistan, 8 species are in the regions of the Republic of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

Determination of the species composition of the genus distributed in the Ferghana Valley, the creation of maps of GAT reflecting their distribution, the examination of their natural reserves, the study of their phytocenotic and ontogenetic structures, the development of protection measures are of great scientific and practical importance.
