Petrophytic flora of the environs of the village Kuyada of Gunib district Intermountain Dagestan

Petrophytes - a kind of group of plants, confined to stony-gravelly substrates. This article contains taxonomic, ecological, biomorphic analyzes of the flora of petrophilous complexes in the vicinity of the village of Kuyada of Gunib district (Intermountain Dagestan). Gunib district is located in the geographical center of Dagestan, in the inner mountainous Dagestan. Inland Dagestan is a mountainous country, closed on all sides of a triangular form, bounded by ridges, which retard moisture brought by winds. For the relief of Inland Dagestan, the steepness of the slopes and the stony nature of the mountains are typical, within which the area of our investigations lies. According to the collections of herbarium material, the dominant families, genera and species of petrophilic complexes of this flora were identified. Ecological and biomorphic groups of petrophilic complexes have been studied. Endemic, relict and protected species of petrophilic complexes of the investigated region were identified.
