Фитоценотическое значение Cephalaria litvinovii Bobr. в растительности Пензенской области

Abstract

4 locations of a rare endemic species Cephalaria litvinovii Bobr. (Dipsacaceae) are known in the Penza region at the present time. It occurs in the Kolyshlei, Mokshan and Maloserdobinsky districts of the Penza region. Three finds were made in the Volga basin, one in the Don basin. Flora and vegetation of each of these sites were analyzed, which allowed to clarify the ecological features of the species. With a view of protection in the Penza region it is recommended to create two new specially protected natural territories: Mayskoye in Maloserdobinsky («May Reserve of Cephalaria litvinovii») and near the station Scriabin in the Kolyshleysky Districts («Scriabin's Reserve Cephalaria litvinovii»).
