What is the reason for interest in medicinal plants: firstly, they have a slight effect on human body, without causing additional negative consequences during treatment, low toxic substances, and secondly, in addition to the active substance, the plant contains a lot of biologically active substances necessary for body and its healing properties. As shown above, medicinal plants are more important than synthetic, chemically derived drugs. Therefore, despite of chemicals variety, use of plants in medicine will always remain relevant. Research objectives: study of the biomorphology of introducents of the Rhaponticum genus and their seed propagation. Selection of scientific and popular information about the studied species of the Rhaponticum genus. To study biology of the seed and reproduction of the studied species. Phenological observations of introduced species of the Rhaponticum genus. Study of biomorphology of introduced species of the genus and their reproduction from seeds were performed. Research results: two studied species of Rhaponticum genus can be propagated by seeds in conditions of Osh. Conclusions: obtained raw materials (flowers, rhizomes) can be processed and used as a medicine in scientific and traditional medicine. Medicines prepared from their roots, rhizomes and flowers are used as stimulants for various diseases.
