Accuracy of a map:

Map is based on data from herbarium specimans and on maps having the following scale: 1:13 000 000-1:22 500 000.

The projection:

"Alber's Equal Area Conic for Russia", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0

Basic contents:

Map is a vector file consisting of polygons and points. Locations of species are represented by points, areas of possible distribution of species are represented by polygons.

Accuracy of the qualifier:

Points represent locations of the species referenced in literature sources and from herbarium specimens. Polygons are based on generalized information from literature sources and herbarium specimens.

Method of map contruction:

The data on distribution of the species were obtained from database of site coordinates of the species, in the Information Retrieval System "Wild-growing relatives of cultural plants of Russia" (NTC "Informregistr" № 0229905883) and published maps by Grossgeim (1952), and Svjazevoj from "Areas of distribution of trees and shrubs in the USSR"(1980).
The species has a disjunctive area. On Caucasus northern and south-west borders of area are carried on herbarium materials of a Komarov botanical institute and a N.I.Vavilov Allrussian Institute of Plant Industry (VIR), stored in a database of the Information Retrieval System. Southern border of area is arranged with map published by Grossgeim (1952) and Svjazeva (1980), east border is arranged on Grossgeim (1952). In Crimea the border of an area is carried out on Svjazeva (1980) and is corrected on herbarium materials of a Komarov botanical institute and a N.I.Vavilov Allrussian Institute of Plant Industry (VIR), stored in a database of the Information Retrieval System.
