Summary/Abstract: Plant species were collected in the botanical-geographic regions of Lankaran-Mughan and Lankaran lowland located on the southern part of the Caspian coast. During the ecological-geobotanical studies we conducted on the southern part of the Caspian coast, we obtained information about the morphological features and systematic taxa of the wild flora of Lankaran-Mugan and Lankaran lowland botanical-geographical regions. In this article we describe the ecology and distribution of Dianthus cyriFisch. & C. A. Mey, Vicia ervilia (L.) Willd., Trigonella cancellataDeef., Cruciata articulata (L.) Ehrend, Triglochin maritimumL., Crypsis alopecuroides(Pill. et Mitt.) Schard., Poa masenderana Freyn & Sint., Nymphaea alba L., Arabis mollis Stev., Acer hyrcanum Fisch, Tamarix meyeriBoiss., Symphytum pereginum Ledeb., Nonnea decurrens (C. A. Mey.) G. Donfil., Veronica ceratocarpa C. A. Mey., Campanula odontosepala Boiss., Achillea millefoliumL., Carduus pystrixC. A. May., Centaurea hyrcanicaBornm. These species are endemic, rare, endangered, and included in the "Red Book of Azerbaijan". In addition to being decorative, they have a certain significance as a raw material for human and veterinary medicine.
