Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of the map:

The map is based on data of a 1:10 000 000 scale map, corrected 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 a polygon and dots. Point localities of the species are represented by dots, the area of possible species distribution is represented by the polygon.

Accuracy of the qualifier:

Dark dots represent information on the species localities from herbarium specimens, the rest (light) dots represent data from published sources; the polygon is based on generalized information from published sources and herbarium specimens.

Method of the map construction:

The species range is represented by a polygon covering the dots of the species localities. The species is distributed in forests of the middle and upper mountain zones of the Caucasus. Herbarium collections of WIR and LE, and a published map of the species range (Grossheim, 1952) made the base for the range map construction. The northern, western and eastern borders of the polygon are drawn after Grossheim (1952), the southern border of the polygon coincides with the former state border of the USSR.
