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 polygons and dots.

Accuracy of the qualifier:

The dots represent information on the species localities: 1 - reliable data from herbarium and published sources; the polygons (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 and WIR, a published map (Grossheim, 1952), and published data (Grossheim, 1945; Lesins, Lesins, 1979) were used for constructing the range of Medicago radiata. The species range consists of two polygons and dots. The first polygon is situated in Transcaucasia, the second one in the mountain part of Turkmenistan. Dots beyond the polygons demonstrate local species localities. The range border is drawn taking account of typical conditions of the species occurrence.
