Basic contents:

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

Accuracy of the qualifier:

The dots represent information on the species localities: 1 - reliable data from herbarium and published sources; the 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 and WIR, and published data (Khasanov, 1972) were used for constructing the range of Medicago sinskiae. Endemic to the mountain part of Western Kopet-Dagh (Turkmenistan), unknown beyond the area indicated. The species range consists of one polygon and dots.The range border is drawn taking account of typical conditions of the species occurrence (the species occurs in the zone of ephemerous low-montane vegetation).
