Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of a map:

Map is based on maps having the following scale: 1:17 000 000 - 1:80 000 000 and on data from herbarium specimans.

The projection:

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

Basic content:

Map is a vector fail consisting of polygon and points. Locations of species are represented by points, area of possible distribution of species are represented by polygon.

Accuracy of the qualifier:

Lidht-colored points are locations referenced in literature sources. Dark-colored points are locations of species that were reported from herbarium samples (Komarov Botanical Institute, St.-Petersburg). Polygon is based on generalized information from literature sources, herbarium specimans, political boundaries and ecological description.

Method of map construction:

Location and area of distribution of the species is based on published maps and analysis of herbarium materials from the Komarov Botanical Institute (BIN) (St.-Petersburg). Literature used included: "Areas of distribution of trees and shrubs in the USSR", 1980; "Atlas of medicinal plant habitats and resources in the USSR", 1983, Cherepanov (1995), Hulten, E. & Fries, M., 1986. The area of species for the investigated territory is constructed on the basis of published maps of areas of species (Hulten, E. & Fries, M., 1986; "Areas of distribution of trees and shrubs in the USSR", 1980; "Atlas of medicinal plant habitats and resources in the USSR", 1983) by generalization of the available data. The final area represents the main range covering a significant part of the European part of the former USSR and Caucasus, some small ranges, and also - the separate points which were not included into frames of ranges. Northern border of the basic range is understood by us in treatment of Hulten, E. & Fries, M., 1986. Southern and western his borders are carried out on the basis of generalization of all available fact data, western one- coincides with frontier of former USSR. Small ranges distributed to the east from the basic are accepted by us in the borders, which are offered by Hulten, E. & Fries, M., 1986. The points which were not included into borders of ranges, represent the individual habitats removed from ranges and representing sites in secondary or not characteristic habitats for species.
