Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of the map:

The map is based on data of a 1:13 000 000 scale map, specified according to herbarium materials.

Projection:

"Albers Equal-Area Conic Projection for USSR", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0

Basic contents:

The map is a vector file consisting of 1 basic and 2 subject layers. The species range is represented by dots and a polygon.

Accuracy of the qualifier:

The dots represent information on the species localities: 1 - reliable data from herbarium and published sources; polygon (1) - generalized information on the species distribution from published sources and herbarium specimens.

Method of the map construction:

The data from the herbarium materials of LE, a published map of a part of the species range (Grossheim, 1952) and published data (Grossheim, 1945; Vassilchenko, 1949; Sinskaya, 1950; Lesins, Lesins, 1979) were used for constructing the range of Medicago daghestanica. Endemic to the Caucasus. The species occurs exclusively in mountains of Dagestan in the middle mountain zone. The range consists of one polygon, which contains all point localities of the species according to herbarium materials and data from the map by Grossheim (1952).
