Abstract
The article provides a review of studies of the vegetation cover of the Western Tien Shan of the NorthEastern slope of the Kurama ridge of the Parkent district (the left bank of Parkentsai) with the participation of the rare endemic species Juno orchioides. The article presents the main results of work in the field of geobotany and botanical geography carried out in the Tashkent region. A list of plants of 4 communities of the herb-shrub association with the participation of the species Juno orchioides is given. The association contains more than 90 species of plants. Of these, trees – 10, shrubs – 9, perennials – 71, annuals – 8. Anthropogenic factors and grazing are the reason for the decrease in this species of Juno orchioides, and in the future, measures for reintroduction must be applied to preserve and restore this species.
