Accuracy of the map:

The map is based on herbarium materials.

Projection:

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 (Grossheim, 1945; Khasanov, 1972; Lesins, Lesins, 1979) were used for constructing the range of Medicago lanigera. The species range consists of one polygon and dots. The polygon is restricted by mountain massifs of Kopet-Dagh (Turkmenistan). 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).
